DORKSIDED!

Comments like yours and the op’s are so beyond tiring. No one is suggesting other areas aren’t racist as well but pretending the south isn’t marinated in this mentality isn’t helping anyone.

I don’t know where you got an anti-South message.

Most of our parents were alive then.

There are plenty of people with mental illnesses who are mediocre in the talent department. It’s not causal either direction, and non-famous people with mental illnesses tend not have an easier time of things. They don’t have the paparazzi issue but they also often have fewer resources and are less likely to get…

This is why I have no problem supporting the rights of other marginalized folks...it wasn’t too long ago that it was illegal for my parents to be together.

My parents (an interacial couple) were married back in the 80's. Even then in the South it was seen as contentious.

Most of our parents were alive then. Racism doesn't die in one generation as much as people would like to think so. We need to keep on working on this.

That’s really something I wish more people would take away from this. There are a very large number of people alive today who were there at a time when they couldn’t marry someone they chose because of that person’s skin color. And in 50 years, people will be just as shocked about the gender issue.

Barely 50 years ago...

Ya know, Science-Guy has a point - why the fuck would you send a black person back in American history? That _can’t_ go_well.

There are countries other than America?

It looks interesting, but is there an in-story reason to limit it to American history only? It sort of feels condescending, like the creators think Americans wouldn’t know about or care about the history of anywhere else. Or it could just be creator provincialism, I suppose.
