[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the book "The help" which takes place in Mississippi, one of the (white) characters has a toddler daughter named "Mae Mobely." What the heck kind of name is Mobely?[/quote] Sigh, it’s a very common southern surname. In both black and white southern families. Just because you aren’t familiar with it, doesn’t give you permission to mock it. I did the same thing when I was an ignorant 18 year old who encountered common Jewish surnames in college. You aren’t being clever, you just aren’t familiar with what is a very common name in a culture you don’t know. [/quote]
