A very important message from Americans in the region mentioned below:
Due to the climate of political correctness now prevailing in America, Kentuckians, Tennesseans, North Carolinians, Virginians and West
Virginians will no longer be referred to as "HILLBILLIES."
You must now refer to us as APPALACHIAN-AMERICANS.

Here's a trivia question for you; who was the first to use the phrase "political correctness"?
Al Gore invented everything, I say it's BIG AL!!
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say......the ACLU.
Who actually used the phrase first is a little bit in debate, but as far as I can tell it was Trotsky. The actual practice, even before that name was used, was a big part of the Marxist revolution. Marx used it as means to battle against the group that he wanted to turn into the common enemy; the bourgeoisie middle-class. They were the ones that he made it okay to criticize while not criticizing anyone else. They were the cause of everyone else?s problems.
In it's current incarnation it's basically white, male, heterosexual Christians that are kept in their place by political correctness.
