Do you happen to know when the term ‘Research Triangle’ came into use, and why? If so, you'll understand why calling the people of that area ‘banjo-strumming hillbillies’ is absurdly off base.

JD Vance went to Yale and called his story the hillbilly eulogy. The term has evolved, unlike some people. Do you know many folk from SC? Very religious. Very socially conservative. Espoused many values that many would today call "hillbilly" including people among themselves. For example, being ardently opposed to trans peoples rights.
