Its pointing out that “redskins” is offensive, but not being offensive to do it.
You could say being formal is itself another joke on top of the contrast, as “indigenous” or “first peoples” would be an equally stupid football team name as “Caucasians.”
Did you see the Top Gear episode where the lads went to the Deep South and got chased by red necks cos their car had Hilary Clinton and gay sex painted on the sides?
… Yes, where they went out of their way to find the most reactive prone town they could, gave their very best shot to stir up animosity, and still left without incident aside from some verbal threats. Even then that was politically charged and had nothing to do with their race.
I haven’t seen the to gear episode of a southern tour, but if your priorities are based on a TV show. From the UK nonetheless. You can’t really say shit about the South.
I’ve been there, they’re not all raving lunatics. There’s only like a 50% voting rate in the country. Of that, roughly half are one side or the other.
So this guy is limiting half the country in nothing and the half he likes.
I don’t know, that’s awfully PC. Shouldn’t it say “Whiteys” or similar?
