Re: The States: Where We Wish Texas Would Secede Already
Yeah, I see your point, what with Joey and Chandler having swastikas all over their apartment and everything.
Any real Georgians bearing any resemblance to Bo or Luke would unquestionably be racist as F, and the show, pardon the term, whitewashed that aspect completely. If someone wanted to create an infomercial pushing the narrative that it’s possible to be good people while casually, meaninglessly displaying racist symbols, you could scarcely do better. There is no question that the show moved the use of the Confederate Battle Flag toward the mainstream - it made it just a little bit more okay to display it. “No, I’m not racist, just a big fan of Bo and Luke.”
