Same way I'd explain a sciency-type person who doesn't know the difference between there, their and they're.

That's actually quite an interesting approach and I wonder what the limits of implications are.

Could we for example imply that Bo and Luke are not only shagging Daisy and each other, but in addition have raped and/or murdered numerous other people? Could we imply they've lynched anyone? If we can, what else could we infer? If not, why not? What limit did we exceed?

Or could we go the other way and imply that they do lots of anti-racism stuff offscreen and that they're using Confederate symbology and names not to glorify it but to mock it? And that they are therefore non-racist and (with additional implications) non-incestuous?

Since one aspect of racism is ascribing negative traits to a particular people group regardless of any evidence that those traits are true (like for example the English thinking of Irish people as stupid, although for the most part I don't think we do that any more), could ascribing incest and racism to citizens of southern states in itself be racist?

What about the incest?

Non-Yank here. Enjoyed and still do TDOH. Names like "General Lee" and "Jefferson Davis Hogg" are meaningless to me, except as they appeared in the show, and the car could equally have been called Lieutenant Bob or Sergeant Pete. The flag on top of the car was just a fancy design.

If at all possible could you consider this an educational NSQ? Please?

So aside from the use of those symbols and specific names, where exactly - with reference to timestamps and episode numbers - are the racism and incest?

Are you assuming that just because Bo and Luke were frequently within 100 yards of Daisy that they must automatically be shagging her off camera? In which case it's a gay show too because for exactly the same reason Bo and Luke must be shagging each other.

And I have no idea why you think it's loaded with hate crimes. Please refer to a specific instance so that I can understand.

This whale is near. That country is far away.

Heh, I wonder how the ml tankies are spinning this one and what browser they're going to use instead of Nazifox or whatever stupid name they're using for it now.

So which non-capitalist country/countries allow disabled and economically inactive people to migrate there for free healthcare?

Something like Mr Garrison's monowheel perhaps?

Oi I'm not wiping my manly butthole with those pink girly wipes. That'd be GAY or probably something equally incoherent.
