The US country trio Dixie Chicks have changed their name to the Chicks because of connotations with the word Dixie, which was used to describe the Confederate US states that upheld slavery.
DEFUND THE GOVERMENT
That's a shit name
Isn't 'chicks' a slightly derogatory term for women? Intersectionality could implode!
Really! Why not change their name to the 'Dim Chicks' because of their action indicate this.
No, they should call themselves Skinny Chicks which would truly set them apart from all them crackers.
😂
Load of nonsense
This is systemic discrimination and cultural appropriation of Poultry Culture.
Dixie literally refers to states south of the Mason-DIXON line -- it's not about slavery or race.
Damn they’re still around?
Hahahahaha, more unrealistic rubbish. So their name was hurting people?
I heard Alice in chains are doing the same thing
The seed came before the egg Why did the chicken cross the street So we can live
Chicks indeed...
Love the band whatever their name is, no probs with the new one !
Albion_Rover Why not 'chicksy dix'.
PatThurston Is this True? Seriously......Are they just as MORONIC as the rest of them...Enough is Enough of this lunacy....That's why we need to keep Democrats out of office..
LOL This world is so fucked up in the head nowdays.
Who?
Fascinating..
Would’ve gone for Dicksy Chicks
Bunch of idiots. I used to like them
? More nonsense. It comes from the French term Dix for 10 as an alternative currency to the green back. May as well ban the Sws franc.I’m sure something historical can be concocted and construed to create an unpleasant odour to the here and now. Thank God we’re perfect now!
If 'Dixie' came from Jeremiah Dixon and Dixon was an Englishman affiliated with the Union (am trying to get it as a non-American reading from Wikipedia), why not just the 'Dixon Chicks'? 🤔

The Black Crowes are fucked.
Why did it take them so long to realise they were alienating half the country by calling themselves Dixie Chicks?
They should keep the name because they knew about the name and didn't care before, basically they are leopards trying to change their spots.
They might have to drop the sexist chicks bit.
Ball’s in your court Dixie Cups
Yo no lo habría hecho.
oh my gosh what a demagogy!!!!!
I love all the eye rolling and “whatever” people. The (formerly Dixie) Chicks will still be selling out arenas and laughing all the way to the bank, just as they currently are.
GowokeGobroke yeh jack MF Silicon Valley cuck.
Bandwagon Chicks sound so much better.
I only associate the name with kicking Bush’s ass
Should’ve changed it to Chicks with Dicks. Salty.
Oh give over
They get it, always have. The Chicks are back MARCH ArmyofOne This is my new anthem
Literally no one cares.
For women, they are looking awfully man-ish.
Albion_Rover The Chicks formerly known as the Dixie Chicks...
remember when they got cancelled for being against the iraq war
I would have gone with the Not Dixie Chicks myself
How about: 'The Snowflake Chicks'? Too white? 'The Woke Chicks'?
How pathetic - and woke They need to stop beating themselves up about being white. This is Black propaganda working successfully on white people to make them feel guilty for things that happened 200 years ago, which had nothing to do with them
Oh for f*cks sake, more virtue signalling celebs that can't see where the line is. If they really want show remorse they can can donate every dollar they ever earned as the 'Dixie Chicks' to BLM. But I've got a feeling that they won't.
Which was nice.
Who the fuck cares and why would they do it ? Mad world
I love them no matter WHAT their name is! Chicks. Dixie Chicks. Junkyard Dogs.... I just love them. 💕
nothing to do with their manager wishing: we must get you back in the media riding on the back of anything!
The whole of America was built on the rape and pillage of Native Americans, and then Slavery. A name change is an empty gesture designed to do one thing, get people talking about their band.
Pre-emptive.
Really. And chicks. meto
Ffs
This is getting more ludicrous by the day
Triple sigh.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Just trying to be relevant
How bout just “Natalie and Those Other 2 Musicians”?
Chicks is also very offensive how dare they refer to women as a farm yard animal ! Shocking ! And they all white ! Throw them in jail
The white guilt
Maybe the Southern entities who identify as full female but who are open to name changes in case this offends. Ffs
Big deal. There career been dead. Tonight the whine is on them
Remember ThreeNonBlonds ? DixieChicks should have become ThreeOleBroads. Don’t matter what you call ya selfs. Y’all still irrelevant
Who cares, they SUX anyway as a country band for sure!
Wait, isn't that a bit sexist? PCUSA
At last! Could have done it yesterday afternoon though, before these Dixie Chicks fans trashed this police car. Dixie lives matter ✊
How horribly woke......
Conflicted about “chick”
Virtue Wankers
The Cool Chicks
I’m a woman, not a chick.
How is “Chicks” not offensive to people who define themselves as gender neutral?
Nobody asked you that change.
And then they will have to remove 'Chicks' as well to appease some feminists or trans-activists (whoever comes first) It will never end.
Ridiculous
The word 'chicks' on the other hand has no problematic connotations whatsoever.
But now they're being insensitive to poultry.
chicks is sexist, delete yourselves
Good, I will still not care about them.
Bravo!
Love it
