This thread is ironic, because people are angry about me attacking "working class whites" when I attack racist hicks in West Virginia. So really, you guys are the ones implicitly assuming that all working class whites = racist hicks, not me.

Why bring class/culture into it with "hicks"?  Why not just leave it at "racist", to separate it out from the other factors?

Class has nothing to do with it. I'm sure there's lots of fairly well off racist hicks in West Virginia (and other places.)

All right, so can we start calling Pennsylvania and New Mexico racist now?

Not that it's relevant, but whites in PA went for McCain by 3. Whites in WV went for McCain by 16.

Anyway, of course there are hicks in PA, and in many other states as well. The reason I see WV unfavorably is because it's so concentrated. WV definitely has the highest percentage of hicks per capita of any state.
