...there ARE red and blue states.

It has always been an assumption that a black man travelling below the Mason-Dixon Line was taking his life in his hands. No one shirked at saying that the Klan lived down here. They still do. And there's now sexual bigots as well as racial bigots - many of whom are government officials who don't have to wear hoods.

And it's also unlikely that a white person speaking with a Southern accent, when he or she enters New York City, will be treated like they know how to read.

I think it's particularly amusing that many of you guys are trying to come up with "politically correct" terms for Red and Blue. Haven't you figured out that the average person is smarter than that, even in the red states? You think we don't know that "law and order" means "beat up the blacks" and "conservatively oriented" means "racist rednecks?" You think the more syllables you say, the less the chance we'll be able to translate? Grow up.
