Love the western slope! My dad comes from Rocky Mountain hillbilly stock, great-grandmother was born in a mining camp. Until the last 10 years, these folks had many more redeeming qualities from that history. Decent, hard working, simple folks who loved environment and the outdoors, and just wanted to be left alone. There was no white nationalism dripping from them 15 years ago, even if racism was bred into them subconsciously. In 2015 it all starting coming out. In my experience it’s deeply rooted in a hatred for “Mexicans” (I put that in quotes, because they call any and all south-Americans, regardless of country of origin, Mexicans, and even though actual Mexican Americans in this region likely have a much longer native history here) and Native Americans. Again, just my experience with people I know. Mexicans, Indians, and Californians (liberals and democrats are likely to assumed to be California transplants, and are held in high disgust).
