Perhaps racist isn't the word, but I don't know of one the fits better....stereotyping, perhaps? Which, IMO. is just a form of racism.
My point is, this isn't pre-civil rights era, while racism is undeniably still alive and well, it irritates me to no end when people accuse major institutions of being racist when there's little to no evidence of such, recently.
You can call me an idiot, or whatever you like. Doesn't change the fact that you're stereotyping an entire university based on nothing more than location, the demographic of their fan base and/or administration, and their history of being a school in the south/southwest.
If Mississippi State is foreward thinking enough to hire Sylvester Croom, then the tea sippers in Austin are waaay out ahead.
