There is nothing wrong with having "Heart of Dixie" on a license plate. This merely denotes a geographic region of the US. Many still refer to the South as Dixie (which comes from the French word "DIX"-pronounced deec- which means ten. I can't exactly quote how we got Dixie out of Dix, but I know this is were it originated.) Anyway, if this offends you, you should be more concerned about more local issues, like what was wrong with your daddy's sperm.
Oh well if it comes from the French, then that is offensive. ;)
It doesn't "offend me". I just think it's corny and so 100 years ago. Now, thank the good Lord most of the kids here in Alabama feel the same. Change is-a-comin baby. Yee haw.
