    No more or less offensive than https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thank_God_for_Mississippi. It’s no more discrimination than being against the Russian, Chinese, or Israeli governments are Russophobic, Sinophobic, or antisemitic. The outcomes that Mississippi as a state enjoys from its policy choices are predictably bad, and yet have been continuously reinforced in their policies to date. That doesn’t mean all Mississipians are worthy of spite or are poorly educated, but the state of Mississippi as an entity has earned its place in this meme as a stand-in for a political backwater

      In your post, you do not reference politics in any form. You reference adoption of veganism, which is a personal choice, in the context of your post means you are refering to Mississippians as individuals.

      I maintain your post is offensive and discrimatory to individuals!

      Also, I am well aware of that adage and the status Mississippi holds. It is my culture in fact, and I do not need that explained to me.
