This isn't Maine. Plus we have a habit of picking up strays, and kinda trapping them here, as a state. So in my book, if they grew up here amongst my kids, if they have an accent and have a preferred party pizza, they're Rhode Islanders. Yeah first generation. It don't take long to get salt in your bones

You can't be a true Rhode Islander, but your kids could.

You'll need some deep held beliefs about which pizza strip is best, (DePetrillos or fuck off)

"Know a guy" for at least a dozen different things (min of 7 "guys")

Violently firm positions on red vs white (it's white btw, red is fine if they're out of the good stuff), and know and appreciate a good clam cake.

There's more, I'm sure others will help out with this list

It IS. Pro pro tip, eat them in the parking lot. Points off for spilling onions and meat sauce on yourself. Style points for smoking a cigarette while also eating. I don't make the rules I just observe them
