"Swamp People" is a tv show tracking alligator hunters in Louisiana.

A point occurred to me. Much racialism claims Whites are tied to particular geography. I have always thought this is garbage. You see this in a lot of Southern writing, as well as German writing.

The 'Cajuns' came from France via Canada. That is, they came from cold lands in the north. 'Cajun' is a corruption of Arcadians. The British kicked these French-descended Whites out of Canada. They ended up down in the swampy bayous of southern Louisiana. An environment as radically different from Canada or France as could be imagined. So naturally, since white men's bodies and pysches are tied to particular clumps of soil, they soon died out.

Except no, they didn't die out, they thrived. They developed an entirely new and very successful culture based on hunting the swamps.

So, by their example at least, Whites are more notable for their adaptability than their being fixed to some particular locale. Which is what I believe: whites are questing people. They are not notable because they belong here or there but because they can adapt and master any situation they find themselves in. Which history shows is in fact the case.

The connection between blood and soil is, in a word, horseshit.
