I actually have spent my whole life in the Midwest. On the second point you are spot on. "White" is too broad and vague a term to carry weight. But it is ready made to be used as a detractor.

It wouldn’t be Minnesota by chance? Fucken new world Swedes are still Swedes to the end. As to our nebulousness I can only counter with, The South. The southeastern US is where the definitive core of the US identity was forged. Maybe that’s why still it’s strong here.
