Perhaps I should explain. I'm from Williamsburg, Virginia. As in the Colonial capitol. I also grew up in 18th Century costume. I have friends who I call by their First and Middle names. And no, there's not much diversity in the town, or much appreciation for diversity.
It makes a great tourist attraction. It's cute, and quaint, and enjoyable to visit. But if you live their long enough you begin to absorb the local mentality and shocked sense of virtue. I recommend visiting only.
