We have a copy of Uncle Remus' Tales that we picked up at a used book store somewhere. I think some are offended by the author's transcription of Southern dialect.

I shudder every time I hear the term "paddy wagon" or the phrase "has their Irish up".. Also the references to Irish and drinking.... Where are my reparations????
