Well, that depends.
Trying being born in the Ozarks. While "Amos & Andy" was taken off
the air for being stereotypical,our "race" can't get Hillbilly Bread
off the shelves, Snuffy Smith out of cartoons, nor the Beverly
Hillbillies off TV -- we're stereotyped as being incestuous,
ignorant, barefoot, and our only attribute is that we can shoot
straight. :-)
