Get the unforced errormug. That county which lies between the Atlantic and Pacific, and thus bestrides the world. Full of more confidence than is wise, full of more hope than its own history has justified. Ever bewitched by destiny and ever made humble by experience. A land that can build railroads, spaceships, and computers, but still can't see certain people for the hearts that beat within them. A place you so desperately want to hate, but cannot help but love and admire.
The land of a thousand stories.

Get the Redneckmug. The Latin version of an "Uncle Tom", is a Latin American immigrant or person of Latin heritage who seeks to assert their "whiteness", whether inherited or aspirational, in order to privilege themselves above other members of the Latin immigrant community whom they deem inferior because of race or class.
This phenomenon can have many roots: historic racial & political divisions that were brought over from Latin America and which date back to the colonial era; a desire by some immigrants to "assimilate" and be thought of as "American"; long running feuds with the African-American community and other immigrant groups; or working-class resentments towards newly arrived immigrants viewed as competition in the labor market.
