Uh, gee whiz.
I kinda like some country music.
But I've never lived in a trailer park. (I did carry newspapers in one once) Nor have I ever chewed tobacco. And I don't have a pickup truck, let alone a trailer hitch. Never been divorced. Get along with my mother-in-law. Not crazy about trains. Don't wear a cowboy hat or boots. Have most of my teeth.
Just pointing out that stereotypes are easy to fall into -- and some country music fans might take offense.
That doesn't make any part of wearing blackface OK in any way. And I don't think there is any question that these guys will be punished.
Even though this is probably a case of being dumb as opposed to being mean spirited.
