A few of my neighbors even have GUNS underneath their beds....very strange to me! I would never even DREAM of owning a gun...but, is it really necessary in TV?

Oh my goodness! There are bigoted people in many communities....and I guess you've had the misfortune to meet some who live here...bummer, that's for sure.
Some only feel secure with firearms. Have a friend who has a pistol and will not give up having it around. Some have had guns from other locations they've lived in and it has become one of their forms of security I imagine. Even if it's not needed, giving up something that provides a sense of comfort and safety, well....that's not easy.
Have you met more that are bigoted than not? Do you feel it important to get away from them? You are obviously upset by these people....and I hope, wherever you might go, you'll not encounter that attitude in a new location. Guess I just sort of ignore those type of people.
TV isn't perfect, it's not to everyone's liking. Sorry it's not to yours.
