Maybe because ignoring intolerance is the name of political correctness is just plain wrong.

I make the perfect pimm's cup, a drink worthy of British royalty, and would all be anxious that you would agree after trying. We make other delicious treats too. . . . Hope to see you all soon.
Oh I loooove Pimm's Cup! I love delicious treats, too! The villa next door to me is for sale!

I think it's about time we hung this one up, folks! If people are nice they will fit in beautifully, if they are not nice, they won't. Nuf said!

Intolerance and bigotry can't be justified by "jokers" and self serving analogies.

I can only take Political Correctness so far. Call me a pejorative and my reaction might be a little more "blunt".
Dearest MelZ and beautiful Pauline.

I promise I will NEVER call you a pejorative. Is it O.K. if I call you New Yorkers?

Love and Kindest wishes,
Gracie (the kraut)

P.S. pejorative is a new word for me.

GG, for a lot of people in the south, New Yorker is a pejorative statement.

Funny you should say that. Pat Conroy's " The Prince of Tides" makes that very clear. I am one third my way through.

Pats2010, being a New Yooorker myself, I've experienced it. Loved "Prince of Tides" and his new book is equally as good.

I read South of Broad a couple of weeks ago. My 1st Conroy read. It was real good.

As Popeye says "I ams what I am", we are expatriate New Yorkers now. But you can call me anything except late for dinner.

My husband is from New York and has lived in the south long enough to be called a damned yankee. That's a regular yankee who becomes expatriated to the south permanently.

The way I heard it is: A Yankee is anyone from north of the Mason Dixon Line. A Damned Yankee, as you point out, is one that moves here.

Most true southerners do not consider Florida as part of the South.

That's because, in Florida, they are not called Yankees. They are called snowbirds.
