<<We understand it all too well. As Southerners we enjoy <<laughing at ourselves but only when it comes from another <<true Southerner, otherwise it is considered prejudicial.

And that’s a major problem in today’s world…..a comment/act is only prejudicial, or racist, or politically incorrect (or WHATEVER term you want to place on it) if it’s uttered or acted out by someone outside the target group. But if it’s uttered or acted out by a member of that target group, then it’s funny. The logic of that totally escapes me. Either it’s offensive, or it isn’t. Period.

Sorry for getting off topic.
