A group of religious people who think that shiny things or clothes that are any color other than black and white will get you a one way ticket to hell. They believe that drawing attention to themselves is a sin, yet their very existence causes people to stare at them. Some can have tractors but they can't have rubber tires on them, because God hates tires. Their women have no idea what a razor blade or a tampon is. Electricity is evil.

A branch of the Anabaptist movement, commonly associated with voluntary abstention from electricity and other modern conveniences, use of plain clothes and head coverings, and an emphasis on farming. Their language, Pennsylvania Dutch, is used at home and in church. Pennsylvania Dutch is a derivative of German. Some Amish children attend Amish-only schools, while others attend public schools. They tend to be highly community and family oriented. The majority of the Amish live in western Pennsylvania, middle Ohio, and middle Indiana.
