Well, I sort of agree with all you say except "rural Southerners are the 
only free game left in the world."  You get to share that with Indians.  It 
is politically correct to refer to Indians as drunken Indians, lazy Indians, 
and to be simply amazed that people don't think having teams or places named 
after "nicnams" and derogatory nicnams isn't something they are fond of.  My 
reply is always "well then, how about the Boston Mics, or the Harlem "N"s, 
or the L.A. Spics or Chink Creek or, or, or?"  I mean, pray tell what is the 
difference?

relatives in the South.
