Strange. How 'white' is 12? I mean, in the book. It's not as though a great deal of time is spent there. Yes, she describes two populations there. But then it's also known that there was a great deal if Irish-Scot heritage in the populations in Appalachia... though no one could ever say that Scott-Irish is the only population there. So describing a population doesn't mean that they are an exclusive population... which is to say, when imagining the place, no one insists that one imagines it to be all of one race.
