Question

Non-Beer Discussion by MITCHFORGIE

My wife and I are thinking of travelling to the Red River Gorge for climbing and doing a road trip about that area of the world next fall... Want to check out Asheville, looking for other suggestions, but also I want to ask a fairly sensitive question and I must profess my ignorance... I am white Canadian and married to an East Indian. I have heard horror stories which I expect are greatly exaggerated, but is there places we should avoid as a mixed race couple in the southern states?

I'm almost from Georgia; grew up right across the Chattahoochee River (AL-GA border)... but, nah, Georgians have more teeth...

are Mounties really as cool as they seem in Dudley Do Right? [;)][:o)]
Of course they are! As an almost Canadian (grew up in Niagara Falls, a mile from the border) I feel I can chime in here [;)]

While I'm excited to go! Second part, where else should we go!! And most mounties are quite nice, mostly cause they are largely actually tourism liasons rather than active police officers. And for beer/maple syrup I vote Quebec. For beer #2 is BC (biased probably though). I have been many places in the world but not the south states (been to Dallas). Its just the movies, although Canadian Bacon was very accurate!

What others have said. I've had interracial relationships in the deep South without problems (other than my dad's opinions [:D]). Not to discount historical and cultural realities that do exist in the South, but assholes exist everywhere.

Mounties - just don't carry a stapler and you should be alright.

For refreshment in Lexington KY, West Sixth Brewing will tickle your palate. They brew a fine IPA, and it's canned... easy to camp with. http://www.westsixth.com/ If you fly into Cincinnati (CVG) let me know; I'll buy you a beer and welcome you to KY!
