West Virginia

Over the past couple days, one of the things I've repeatedly heard in the media is that the families of the deceased miners from the SAGO mine are preparing to bury their dead "in their own way."

These people aren't some sub species of hominid, they're human beings just like you and me. Just because they work underground doesn't make them CHUDs. If they were anything but poor white people there would be a national outrage over this use of language. And this is coming from someone who makes fun of hillbillies all the time.
