Yes but the people in the cities are far more excepting because they have experience with many people from all over the world. You appreciate their culture and experiences. So you don’t have the ignorance that SOME small town people have Of course not all. 😊 I’m actually Canada’s but same diff and I’ve lived in the states. Parents were born and raised in the states so all my family are there. Other then parent and siblings. It’s the same. Kinda lol I grew up in both Toronto and in cottage country. Even an island And I found as a child/teen it’s way easier in the cities. Not too much time doing nothing lol. I mean but being out in the beautiful county which I love. But in the city you are too busy doing what you enjoy. :). Good and bad.

Writing this from Russia. Our media for decades has been trying to concrete the stereotypes about how bad the opposite people are. But in fact you see that regular people from outside the big cities are all the same: hard-workers, definitely seeing their own struggles, but keep being optimistic and so open to the strangers. And in the end of the day this is the people who carrying the whole country on their backs - and, as usually, don’t get enough recognition for that. Thanks for a trip, man. There’s been a lot of channels, but the atmosphere in your videos is so calm & pleasant! God bless 🙏🏼

Peter, the thing some people may not know is Cajuns in South Louisiana are taught very young to love our neighbor. We grow up seeing our parents and grandparents help others - it doesn't matter if you're a stranger or not. We are here to help one another. Acts of kindness are very important to us. We love you and see you as family. We know we need each other. Each person we meet, we meet for a reason. Yes, there are exceptions, but for the most part, Cajuns have big hearts. We have and will rescue you (in a boat usually) if you're stuck/flooded, give you dry clothes, and feed you a good meal. Nothing expected in return. Do good when you can - that's Cajun. Have gratitude for the small things - that's Cajun. Throw a big temper tantrum and yell a lot when you've been wronged - that's Cajun. Work hard, eat a good supper, and pray before you go to sleep - that's Cajun. Keep going - that's Cajun. Thank you, Peter, for showing parts of Louisiana to the world. PEACE & LOVE to you and your wife!

I'm starting to think the mainstream media don't care if anyone is watching. They'll still get their ad deals with the pharma companies and defense contractors. Why would a company want to pay for ads on a channel nobody watches, you might wonder. The ad deal is just a bribe to get positive coverage on the programs. But again, what's the point if nobody watches the programs? Well, people get their information online, and many online sources base their information on 'reputable consensus', which basically means 'what the mainstream media says is true'. Chomsky laid it all out in Manufacturing Consent, and while the model has changed to keep up with technology and Chomsky has become an establishment hack, the system he outlined is still going strong.

Believe it or not, this is the America that I love. Off the beaten track and real salt of the earth people. As a kid growing up in Jamaica, we thought that America’s streets were literally paved with gold, there was no poverty, no dirt, no crime, etc. In other words it was presented to us as Utopia. But when I moved here decades ago and realized it was just like everywhere else, I wasn’t disappointed. It made me love this country even more. Wish I was able to travel everywhere throughout this beautiful land.

This area has really declined over the last 20 years. As businesses and industries disappear poverty increases and so does crime. It's sad to see how fast these towns fade away. I grew up in New Iberia. When I was a kid the old people still spoke cajun French. The buildings were kept up. Most of the businesses and industries were still around. Poverty was still a thing but not like today. People are really struggling. But there are still really good people around and even if they don't have much they'll still share, try to help, say hello or invite you in.

The history and story behind the Cajuns is incredible. The history of this entire region of America is most likely not even taught in school. The French decided they no longer wanted to tend to New Orleans and the surrounding areas and basically got the Spanish to do it because there were many colonists there. It was a peaceful transition, but the Cajuns ended up being sent to eastern Canada. Many years later, they started to return and became the Cajuns. It is crazy to think that this could happen, but Cajuns must have prefered Louisiana and the swamp land. So they repopulated it and still remain. The Spanish eventually left and we end up with the culture of today.

Peter, I know I have said it before but I think it needs to be said again. Your work is incredibly important. If we believe what is portrayed by the media we would believe that we are so divided by by race, gender, and geographical location, that we couldn’t possibly ever find common ground. What your work continues to show is that this wrong on every level. No matter where you have gone, you find the same salt of the earth Americans, who are all striving to leave a better place for their children. Doesn’t matter if our cultural practices differ, we are all Americans, and large melting pot of good hearted people. Keep up the fantastic work of showing real America, and crushing the fake stereotypes that have been promoted by a rich class to keep us divided.

Went to Louisiana in the 80's & had this most amazing delicious gumbo soup at a restaurant in New Orleans that an old lady made for a restaurant & was offered $10,000 dollars for the recipe. Later the next day I left on my flight & the plane had difficulties to the point where the pilot announced for us all to take the crash landing position. And as I heard people crossing themselves & praying, I too was talking to God & prayed that if I could have anything in the world right this moment, it would be another bowl of that delicious gumbo soup. We landed safely, but I've not since been back , & I'm a bit afraid that I'll die soon after if I ever do. It truly was amazing gumbo.

When I was a kid 12 or 13 years old in the 1990s I took a road trip with my oldest sister from New Mexico to Florida. We stopped a few times in Louisiana and I have to say that the locals were so welcoming. I loved it there. And the food was so good. I love me some shrimp. A woman made me a shrimp sandwich, it looked like a subway sandwich and it had a red seasoning. So dang good. I don't remember what community it was in but I'm so glad I got to experience it. I love the people there, they have a heart of gold.

Being humble, love of country and embracing what you have not what you don't. Those are qualities that are missing in much of America today.
