Most of us understand that you can’t paint a broad brush over a state or a nation…just because there are borders does not mean that everyone within those borders behaves or thinks the same…that’s just absurd.
This nasty display certainly doesn’t help the cause of trying to eliminate those tendencies, when it comes to the U.S. ‘south’.
I would also think that the university should be completely embarrassed about having students who don’t even know the basics about their own country.
I’m sure the students involved will be disciplined in some manner…but I’m also fairly certain that they will be laughing about this for a long while…holding this episode up as a sort of ‘badge of honour’ amongst themselves.

Isn’t it just grand that we live in such a wonderful, post-racial society?  When will folks—-supposedly intelligent, college-educated folks—- ever learn that the entire world is filled with people of all colors, cultures, and backgrounds that are not white, ’Ozzie and Harriet’ types?
