2 things.

1....I highly doubt "old rich white men (and women for that matter) from the South" are any more likely to be rascists than there Northern brethern. Do they exist? Sure they do, but they exist EVERYWHERE. I think people that do not live in the South have a very distorted view of it. Yes there are differences in culture...as there is in any part of any country, but that means squat.

2. I think that the term being discussed is about a NATIONALITY not a RACE. I wish people would differentiate these things. I remember studying Vietnam and this was part of the course. Its a shortened version of nother word describing the people of NVK. Its the same thing as calling Americans.....Yanks...which is short for Yankees. Should they then be appalled for being called such? No of course not. Same thing with this subject.
