I have NEVER heard so much outright racist language and so many bigoted comments, including so-called jokes, in my entire life up north and traveling through much of the country as I have routinely heard—and continue to hear—right here in TV, though I'd have to say it's been only during the past few years!
Unfortunately, I have to agree with your comment regarding dreadful comments made quite openly here in TV. Is it the age group? Is it the lack of education in the group making the comments? Is it socio-economic? Is it the areas and work places they came from? Who knows, but it is sickening.

Let me add this too - some of the comments made about women are incredible. Just sit outside at Panera's in LSL and listen to some of the old men talking quite loudly about the women walking past ................
