Yet another reason to never visit Tennessee

I, for one, am not surprised that Boilerman is "confused"--that is his permanent state.

You can get a taste of Nashville at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas as they officially have a satelite location of 

Hattie B's Hot Chicken 

Its pretty friggin good.

DonDiego opines that common courtesy suggests that one should address others' heritages as pleasantly as one can.

And if one isn't sure, one can always ask.

Here's an up-to-date guide addressing inappropriate terms to employ with respect to ethnic-groups:

What Racial Terms You Should Avoid 

The referenced article does not include what terms pertaining to Caucasians are appropriate.

However,  Reasons Not to Say Caucasian  concludes that "White" is most appropriate, . . . and is, for example, the term employed in Federal data collections.

For the record poor old DonDiego is a mix of Mick, Heiny, Polack, and Limey.

No, the issue isn't that Hurst used the term "queer"--there's nothing inherently wrong with that--it's that he opined that having a gay, queer, homosexual whatever Presidential candidate was a terrible thing. That's a horribly bigoted statement.

Fortunately, I don't have to go to Tennessee to eat Tennessee food.

I generally plan to avoid Trumper cesspools like the state of Tennessee. DonDiego finds the extreme Trumpism of Tennessee delightful and says he intends to move there. To each his own.

But I'm presently objecting to a roomful of scumbag yahoos applauding when an election official makes a horribly bigoted statement about a Presidential candidate. I don't want to come near a place where such assholes live.

this short clip from The Godfather is a good guide.   

me tell ya something my kraut, mich friend

Kevin, I'm confident that Tennessee doesn't want you.  Feel free to avoid Indiana also.

Have you asked Tennessee? Or are you merely Trumper-confident about that?

Poor old DonDiego will likely be visiting the "Athens of the South" occasionally over the next few months to keep track of construction of his soon-to-be new home.

He'll be sure to visit Hattie B's in its home town.

"Diners at Hattie B’s decide how hot and spicy their chicken will be. They can choose from heat levels that range from 'Southern' (no heat) to 'shut the cluck up', which, registering at over 1 million heat units on the Scoville scale, is four times hotter than a habanero pepper. The scale measures the level of capsaicin, a component of chili peppers."

Poor old DonDiego grew ghost peppers last year and enjoys them, in small-bits, just as one uses "regular" chiles.

Kevin Lewis declares: "I generally plan to avoid Trumper cesspools like the state of Tennessee." 

Yet another reason to move to the Greater Nashville area ! ! !
