Deletion of White Southerners

Comment: Article utterly fails . I'm finding a few blogs and some other sources that refer to "southerners" being a socioethnic group, but nothing of substance and reliability that would warrant an article

Comment: This article makes me cringe!  Southerners in and of themselves are not an "ethnic group" anymore than mid-westerners, northerners, or any other part of the United States.  There is nothing  about leading off with "White Southerners" as the criteria.  Is the author implying that anyone without white skin cannot be considered a Southerner?  We don't need this flawed POV, cited with decades old sourcing, merged.  This has one point of view, and it doesn't meet Wikipedia criteria. No way
