This thread is an interesting illustration of what politically correct really means.
In my experience, folks are folks. Some are bad, some are good, and most of the rest of us are somewhere in between.
But it has become a fad, particularly here in America, to dictate to others how they should think and speak.
The original poster asked a valid question, one I would probably ask about the general area I grew up in. Anytime I overnight in an unusual or remote area I am concerned about safety-as well as what there is to do and see.
I think Thunder Mountains responses were great. But I will add one ithought: for me to attack another person because of a perceived slight to someone else, trying to enforce my own preconceived opinions, is just a (somewhat concealed) form of bias. Most folks can stick up for themselves.
