re: #29 wrenchwench

Fox Nation had the headline “Another American Rancher Killed on the Border” for a story about a guy who was not a rancher. His family was actually pissed that he was called that. “He was a business man!”

That issue made me think there might be a group for whom “rancher” had some bad connotations. Are there people who use “rancher” like some S. Africans would use “boer”?
