Thank you, Darnright.
My freshman year of college I took US History, which started after the Civil War. The professor asked the following question: “Given the choice between vacationing in Toronto, Canada or Birmingham, Alabama, where would you go?”. Vote by a show of hands.
The vote was probably 90% for Toronto. I voted for Birmingham, not for a political reason, but because I had never been there (went to Toronto when I was 8). Well, f**k me for voting for Birmingham. Me and the other 2 people who voted Birmingham got told that we were the outliers in the class, and that the majority of the students would rather go to a foreign country than to go to Alabama.
So no question, the leftists think and say blatant anti-Southern things, big time.
That was a loaded question from a liberal prof. I would’ve vocally set the jerk straight for setting up such a choice. For starters, Birmingham isn’t a “vacation destination.” I live, what, 2 1/2 hours or so north of it and have never spent any time there (save for the time it took to drive past on I-65 heading to the Gulf or returning via Texas). There’s very little to do there. Toronto is the NYC of Canada, and hence there are many things to do there.
I think a better choice of options would’ve been whether the class would prefer Myrtle Beach vs. Detroit. I’d ask the prof which HE would prefer. If he said “Myrtle Beach”, I’d denouce him as a reactionary right-winger racist for not appreciating the myriad of activities to do in Detroit.
