It's overall a very good opinion piece, but this little ditty didn't escape my notice:
> We diagnose them as racists in the way Dark Age clerics confused medical problems with demonic possession.
"Medical problems"? I don't know much about these things, but isn't this what some would call a "microagression"?
Eh, I'm going to give the guy a pass. At least he's trying.

All in all, I think it's a pretty solid article, and hits on a lot of the rural-urban disjunctions that I've experienced, as a redneck Mainer from up near the Canadian border having to move out of 1950s-throwback-world.
