Statistics on Appalachian Poverty

 Appalachian Americans are
not generally discussed in text books or in classes.
They are the invisible minority.Appalachians
have low education,high poverty rate
and poor health.Their favorite drink
is mountain dew.They drink so much of it
that alot of the adults and children have
bad teeth.They are even known for giving
babies this to drink when they can not afford
to buy milk.
Some common racial slurs they hear from
others  outside of their areas are (hill billies,red necks,white trash and trailer trash.Its bad enough for these people to deal with their poor economy nether mind dealing with the ignorance
of people about their plight.
We are considering the possibilty of sending
some of these people much needed Winter clothes also.Since we have been blessed with an abundance of clothes etc..
