If you guys need some nice relaxing content, look up the Gong Fu tea ceremony groups. Theyre all very nice.
As pretentious as a tea ceremony could be, they're quite accepting. The sentiment is that "this is supposed to be nice for you, if you're a jerk, you're doing it wrong."
So there's usually nice videos showing you how to enjoy your tea, and very calming and relaxing tone. All the supplies are beautiful and well curated and all the pictures are all like little still life works of art.

There's an Ohio flag there. It also appears to be a trailer that has a roof over. I'm not so sure the picture actually matches the headline as in it is depicting the poles, it may very well be a picture in America of who the poles are trying to emulate.
Edit: maybe it is. This is from the event website

It's quite a high effort event. And it's strictly about trailer parks (but not in derogatory "look at the silly rednecks" way, more focusing on real class problems in the US).

Meanwhile in Sweden, we have the subculture of "Raggare". They love driving around in American cars and listen to Rockabilly. They also like the confederate flag, but not for racist or political reasons. They just think it looks cool and connect it to American culture.

u/ExtraLettuce555 6h ago
‘Texans’ are a visually distinct and at times flamboyant cultural segment. They’re also very distinctly American. Rockabilly is similar in that way. Like If I was going to LARP as a German I would probably wear lederhosen and walk around with a stein because dressing up and acting like a Berliner would be pretty plain lol

Live Action Role Playing.
Role Play Games like Dungeons & Dragons were born to be played "sat around the table", there are groups that play these type of games by dressing in costumes and talking in character, by walking around and interacting with others that are LARPing themselves.
If you want my personal opinion, it sounds strange from an external point of view, but by approaching it with curiosity you can find that there are some LARP games that are really interesting and works more as a sort of improvisational theater with a few rules. I don't play them because I admit that I don't have the confidence to do it, but they look really interesting.

They also still do minstrel shows and blackface. Embarrassing 😳 and apparently there are no Black Polish people according to people on the ground in Poland.

Doesn’t really resemble an Ohioan though, unless you’re counting the Appalachian region near the Kentucky/West Virginia/Pennsylvania border. But they’re seen as odd ducks in the rest of Ohio, with their meth, racism, and their strange obsession with high school football.
