Why no Song??

I have no idea if my DVD player would work or not! I noticed you have 3 kids. So do we, but our oldest is 13 and our youngest is 6.

Yes Yes, I apologise for generlizing about Texans. Very wrong of me. However, the poster who did rolleyeyes about Disney being scared of 'offending blacks' made me cross. Two wrongs, though, don't make a right and as I said before, I wish to offend nobody.
To answer the question as to whether Texan's have a reputation for being racist and gunslinging, well, in Britain they seem to have a little. There have been documentries here (I think to coincide with the abolision of slavery anniversary), which seemed to suggest that racism is commonplace and the KKK still very active (and not with good deed doing!!). I am aware that these people are in the minority and my comment was a kneejerk reaction to my irritation I felt at the above mentioed post.
As far as generalization is concerned and just as a side note, my daughter participated in the International College Programme last summer at WDW. She started to get mildly annoyed at the number of people from the USA who asked her if she drank tea all the time, rode around in horses and carriages, or 'knew the Queen'. Yes my comment was ignorant and ill advised but I am obviously not alone in generalizing or believing things I see on TV

Well, then I must say Britain seems to be behind a bit when it comes to Texas. You will find racism where ever you go. As for the gunslinging, I am a Texan, and have never fired a gun, nor has anyone on my family. I actually dont think I know of one person who actually owns a gun.

Ignorance is ignorance, and it comes from all places. Please dont group all Texans together, when your knowledge of us, is solely based on dated documentries and streotypes.

I, as a Texan, accpet your apology, but please dont do that again.

Thank you for accepting m apology. I assure you that I am not in the habit of apologising and then going out and doing the same thing again!! As I said it was a kneejerk reaction and as I also said I am not alone in making generalizations. We all do it at times and as long as we learn something, well thats the good that can come out of it. I know it is annoying when we are the people who are being 'generalized' about, as my daughter found out!!
Indeed, Britain may be behind Texas, but I think that may be a generalization.
