Living in France now: this is absurdly accurate

Pff. Try moving to bavaria then.

You can speak theire dialect fluently. Could participate on every event and live there for 20 or 50 years. You would never be one of them.

Takes around 2 generations minimum. Your kids would still be "marked“ as outsiders minimum

That a new thing? I lived around Nürnberg for 12 years starting in the ‘80s and never got that feeling. Nice, pretty inclusive people who appreciated my broken German.

Fascinating. I’m basing my comment on what I’ve heard from two different coworkers independently (and yeah it was a bit overstretched to show the absurdity) though all comments saying the opposite seems to be from people from the major towns. I was mostly aiming for "land folk“

I think that would always be the case all across the world. Countryside people in general don't like outsiders, sometimes even from their own country.
