More genuine? That doesn't even mean anything. It's a buzzword and translates to "more like me." Alaska is basically the last stop for criminals and antisocial nuts. There's a reason alcoholism and alcohol-related crime is so rampant there.

Maybe more genuine means less pretentious, less snobbish, and more friendly.

I would think many people live in Alaska simply because they like the environment and weather; outdoorsman, nature lovers, etc. And there are nuts and weirdos everywhere; at least in a sparsely populated state like Alaska people are spread out.

It's sparsely populated because it's a wasteland and the people are spread out because they're antisocial nuts.
And in Alaska being less "pretentious" and "snobbish" comes at the cost of more bigotry and less education. A black man moving to Alaska most certainly wouldn't find the people to be more friendly and less snobbish.

Have you ever been to Alaska? I have....many times in fact. Love it. I've even seen black people up there. In fact, there seems to be a greater mix of everyone, overall. That's not a bad thing in my mind.

You're the person who sounds bigoted here. I expressed my preference for Alaska and you jumped all over me and made the assumption I'm some sort of antisocial nutcase. At least that is how it looks to me. I am introverted, but introversion isn't tantamount to
antisocialism if you've ever read anything about it.

Genuine means less pretentious and phony....a problem I've unfortunately become acquainted with the hard way since living where I do now.

Yes. Aside from some lovely scenery it was quite awful.

Preposterous. Don't make up something so blatantly silly when google exists.

I don't think you know what that means.

That's a lie. I said nothing about you.

Get your eyes checked.

Yes, because as we all know only L.A. has pretentious people. They simply do not exist in the Great Northern Waste.
