that’s such an old old joke. But some good friends of ours have a terrible infestation of chiggers in their backyard (eastern Kansas) and we were telling our European houseguest about them and explaining that it was not a racist word. Chris said she had told some east coast friends about it and they really did think it was a racist term. LOL
I've never been tore up by chiggers like I was during three years at Ft. Riley.
