Following weeks of protests about police brutality and racism, many activists have begun calling out the band Dixie Chicks to change their name, claiming the word Dixie harbors the epitome of white America.
The Dixie Chicks, a band composed of Natalie Maines and twin sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer, is a country band that was started in 1989.
The Chicks soared to popularity until a comment by Maines about President George W. Bush in 2003 sent their career on a downward spiral from which it never fully recovered. In London for a concert, Maines told the crowd in 2003, Were ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.

"It is possible that Dixon's name was the origin for the nickname Dixie used in reference to the U.S. Southern States, even though Dixon was actually affiliated with the Northern side of the line" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Dixon

While their musical careers went downhill, don’t believe the Dixie Twits suffered financially. They won 10s of millions in a landmark lawsuit against Sony many moons ago.
