I often find myself prejudging the southern United States. I am aware that there are intelligent people there and that many of them despise racism and prejudice against minorities. I am painfully aware of the irony of my feeling intolerant about some of their less broad-minded behaviors. So when I read articles like this one, I find myself filled with mixed emotions. On the one hand, I am very glad, even proud, that there are people who are willing to stand up to the mob. On the other hand, what the fuck is wrong with the majority here?
