One thing I have been thinking about is I wonder how the parents of these boys, probably mostly Northern Yankees, now feel with the shoe on the other foot.

Before this is over, they will be bigger bigots than any homegrown racist you will ever meet.

Add the words "shown to be" before the word "bigots" and I will agree. As Patterson Hood (lead singer of the Drive By Truckers) says :"although racism and racial hatred is a universal problem, ever since George Wallace it has been popular to talk about racial problems with a southern drawl."

While it is wrong to assume that every person in an ethnic subgroup automatically behaves by certain criteria, it is also true that people don't sit around a living room somewhere and say "Hey, lets make up a stereotype!" They exist for a REASON. In this case the stereotypes of rich, arrogant, snotnosed white boys who think others exist in the world to do their bidding is matched equally by some money grubbing ignorant ho' with an attitude, who will play the race card at the drop of a hat if she smells money.

I honestly don't know which is worse.
