what does it mean?

[cos]

Please comment on this post before you read anyone else's comments.

This weekend, I saw a bumper sticker that said,
Straight, White, English-Speaking
Proud American
For a moment, I was offended ... then I started thinking of several different possible intentions, meanings, and contexts for this slogan. After a bit of confusion, I settled on curiosity. What does it mean? What did the people who sold it intend for it to convey, and what did the person who put it on their car intend to say by it? I can think of several different possibilities or nuances, and maybe there are more.

So tell me, what do you read in this bumper sticker slogan? And if, like me, you see several possibilities, which one came first, before you thought about it?

Yeah sorry about that.. I had to close it off due to a horrible falling out with my exgirlfriend. Not only that but I'm.. well.. pretty much serving in the military and I don't like to advertise that anymore than I possibly can.. helps to have things F/O. Something to do with the fact that apparently "most servicemembers prefer not to know that the guy/girl fighting alongside of them in war is not completely hetero and there *might be a slight chance that their buddy likes their "bits and parts".. "(had someone tell me that before as a reason why GLBT shouldn't serve in the US military)

Other than that.. I'm pretty boring as it is ;o) but I like the info you've been putting out over the past public entries. Thanks :o)
