Come on Ketch. The Dixie Chicks changing their name to The Chicks when absolutely NO ONE was calling for them to do so accomplished absolutely nothing. They get to tell people how socially responsible they are and that is it. It's fine to live for themselves and there are 1000 ways to make a difference but this is nothing more than them being able to tell themselves they try harder than anyone else without actually doing anything.
If something is legitimately offensive and needs to be addressed then lets address it and make a change. but no one is listening to Goodbye Earl and thinking, "you know, the name Dixie is pretty racist". We need to confront real racism in the world and stop trying to shoehorn racism into every facet of society.
