Perhaps, but not running in racist circles, I wouldn't know.
(looks it up)
I can't find any reference to the term's being used to describe a racist, bigot or prejudiced individual. You may have invented your first American Slang Phrase. Congratulations.
I can see how one might come to the conclusion, since Southerners generally listened to Country music, and Southern Democrats were typically Segregationalists, slave owners, KKK members, or all.
Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?
I think those kind of subtle implications are far more of a British thing, whereas Merkans would just blurt it out, possibly down the barrel of a shotgun. :-&
It might interest you that perhaps 30% of all Americans own guns. That 30% is concentrated in areas where gun use for hunting is quite high. In Alaska, for example, approximately 62% of Alaskans own guns, while in Delaware the rate is about 5.2%.
Of course the numbers are only reflective of those who admit to owning guns.
Most racists are white-collar Democratic elitists, by the by. ;) Is that subtle enough?
