appearance and orientation, served up southern-style

Only in the South would you see a straight guy wearing suspenders and a white straw hat unironically. This was one of the first things I noticed when we got in at the airport. He wasn't an older gentleman, either - he was probably in his twenties.

Oh, yeah, and another thing. Race. It's not just that Georgia has a lot more ethnic diversity than New England, although that's certainly true. But I noticed that the older dark-skinned gentleman in the rental car bus with us got very different treatment from the rental car people. And yesterday when I was reading reviews of Atlanta brunch places, I noticed something saying that the guy's wife had found a curly hair in her omlette. Would it be better if the hair had been straight and blond? And if so, why?
