I was listening to Rick and Bubba out of Birmingham yesterday. It was a topic for many callers so I figure it has to have a major impact in Dixie as well else where. I knew it would but never tried to make an issue of it here since you are immediately labeled "bigot" even if you don't agree with the practice but acknowledge it as a factor.
