How are white people supposed to feel about their own race?

And then we go to the, does it have more unions because it have more wealth or is wealth created by unions?? I wouldn't bet on the second. And you were talking north versus south, not west vs east... and as far as I remember California is more to the south than to the north.

In the US, the major regions do not correspond exactly to the directional terminology they represent.  See the map linked below:

It gets confusing to foreigners.  Hell, it's confusing to many of us.  It's all based on what the regions were called as the US was growing (read: stealing land) rather than how it is now.  Nobody here would say California (especially not as far north as San Fransisco and San Jose) was part of the south.

The Midwest used to be called the West or the Northwest, before the rest of it belonged to the USA.  But that's not what anyone means when they mention the Old West

The regional identifications are historically based, but don't quite match what they would be if the name was determined by date of annexation.  You'll notice that Texas counts as South, while it was more or less part of what we got from Mexico along with most of the rest of the west.  And the Midwest is about half from before and half from after the Louisiana Purchase.  On the other hand, "Northwest" and "Southwest" (not depicted on the map) generally conform, I think, to what we did and didn't have before the Mexican Cession.  The South is pretty much the old slave states, and the Northeast is the non-slave states that were part of the original 13 colonies.
