Quick Observation

A rerun of Saturday Night Live last Saturday reminded me that rural southern/Appalachian whites are the one minority group still open for ridicule across the board. At one time, SNL had a sketch entitled "Appalachian Emergency Room." Exaggerated stereotypical characters walk into an emergency room with ridiculous injuries. There would have been howls of protest had the skit been entitled "Inner City Emergency Room."
