A few months back I went to see a very good show by Dwight Diller (completely un-B&S like West Virginian banjo-playing preacher man) and he was talking about how in America it's the South that's the last acceptable prejudice, and in the South it's West Virginia and Arkansas which are the last acceptable prejudices. He then followed it up with two very funny jokes about Arkansas.
...and the last acceptable prejudices in West Virginia are towards anyone who's not white, straight, christian, and anyone who dresses differently. Trust me, I grew up there. I can feel no pity towards those who feel it is slighted. I used to go to all-ages punk rock shows when I was younger, and the town where the best venue was closed it down because people in the town didn't like that element walking the streets.
