[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Flyover country" is enormously offensive. Ironic that posters bemoaning the lack of diversity in other areas use that term repeatedly. [/quote] +100000[/quote] Are you serious that the term ‘flyover state’ is in your words “enormously offensive”?!? At first I laughed when I read this but actually feel sorry for the few that feel this way. The term is a geographical description of states that have smaller populations, less tourism/less visited and are not located along a coast. Why are you creating an offensive aspect to a simple description? How ridiculous! [/quote] Born in NY, educated in MA, live in DMV. But yes, of course "flyover state" is offensive, implying that one flies from coast to coast, avoiding the rest of the US because it is not as worthy, sophisticated, urban, whatever. I believe there is a country song about it. [/quote]
