Two things to remember about this story: You are reading it in one of the most politically correct newspapers in America, the Baltimore Sun. Second, there is always more to a story like this than makes the papers.
So before you go piling on the last group in America that can be ridiculed and joked about, White Southerners, make sure you know the full story.
I’m not editorializing either way about the story. I know I don’t have the facts. I’d never accuse Southerners of being more racist than any other group, including Northerners and Blacks.
