An Appalachian is "one who was born, or whose parents or grandparents were born, in one of the counties making up the Appalachian region." According to this definition, provided by the Urban Appalachian Council, Appalachians may consequently be white, Native American, Jewish, Amish, African American, Asian American or Latino. Be that as it may, author Elizabeth Sanders Delwiche writes, "...all definitions of Appalachia are partial, debated, and insufficient."[1]
