I take it that you're actually serious about your post. May I suggest finding something more pressing & serious that needs guidance or correction?

The humourous piece was simply meant to be funny. How could it possibly describe anyone or anybody that really exists? It's a verbal caricature of what "hillbillies" were thought to be like. It's as far-fetched an idea of what real people act like as the "Wily Coyote & Road Runner" cartoons are like. Should animal activists get upset over such a mindless portrayal of coyotes as being biased & bigotted? Do you know anyone that would fit the description? I doubt it. I doubt anyone knows someone that clueless.

I have a very good friend who's Ukrainian. She's an avid collector of Ukranian jokes. Why? Because she considers them funny & so far-fetched that she (& all of her Ukrainian family) isn't even remotely insulted. I belong to a minority of sorts. When jokes are light heartedly made about this group, I never feel insulted or hurt. I can very easily tell the difference between a bit of teasing & a comment with real malice. I know teasing is often a sign of someone liking you & feeling comfortable around you.

Do you see real malice in the piece of humour I posted? If you do, I'd suggest developing a softer view of many people's comments. Admittedly, there's a lot of cruelty & malice in this world, but I have difficulty in seeing any in my post. It's far too silly to be real.

And as an extra, I heartily dislike the term "Ms". I'm not a Mrs, Miss, or Ms IsoM. I'm plain IsoM. But I'm not insulted or slighted. I'm simply pointing out to you that it's ridiculous to take a high stance about every small slight we 'may' perceive.
