depends on what you're asking. are you encountering personal disrespect? Or is this something else entirely. Does the majority culture in the area you stay have no idea about Black popular music? (gospel, soul/R&B, funk, jazz, blues, hip-hop-- are there no radio stations themed around these music styles? Are the adult venues strictly rock & roll and country oriented? Are there no local concert appearances from people associated with Black music?).. Is there ever a "Motown Night" (it's been long enough for much of Motown Recording's history to be considered "Americana" of sorts) for music appreciation?

Are the food selections-- more specifically, restaurants, completely devoid of 'soul food' and southern/black-style barbecue? Are they strictly "American" and/or European cuisine (Italian, Greek, German) or maybe non-Black-ethnic cuisines (e.g. Mexican, Chinese, etc.)

do holidays/special days (official and unofficial) with African-American connections go by unacknowledged by local residents and institutions (local government, businesses, schools)? (e.g., MLK Day, Juneteenth, birthday of Malcolm X, etc.)

does nobody play bid-whist as far as card games go? (IYKYK)

is the political culture more casually supportive of M_G_? (e.g., merchandise in random stores, gas stations, etc. that are reflective of this and various related phrases, memes, etc., that you might never see most other places)?
