No Jackie Robinson, Ray Charles, Margaret Mitchell, Bobby Jones, Evander Holyfield, Kim Basinger, Otis Redding, Burt Reynolds, Sugar Ray Robinson, Doc Holiday, or Hulk Hogan? Glad we got Honey Boo Boo representing GA on here!!
Many of the people you mentioned were born in Georgia, but don't have much else to do with the state. I chose people whose lives and character were affected by growing up in Georgia, not a completely different state.
So if I don't know Outkast, I get double penalized? How about if we change all the Justin Bieber, One Direction, and Twilight questions that infect most of the quizzes so that they appear twice? Good quiz, otherwise.
I would have bet it was the state, however, imo, a sovereign country has the priority, the quiz should be "Famous people from the US state of Georgia".
Georgia the country has 3.7 million people. Georgia the state has 10.9 million people. Georgia the country is about 27,000 square miles. Georgia the state is more than double that, 59,000 square miles. Georgia the country has an economy of about $30 billion. Georgia the state has an economy of $811 billion, and Atlanta has the headquarters of Coca-Cola, UPS, and Delta, among other major global companies. I really don't mean to put down the country of Georgia or its rich culture and heritage, and I'd be happy to see a quiz on Asian Georgia, but Georgia the state is clearly larger and more significant in almost every possible way.
Georgia the country issues its own passports and there are many Georgian restaurants and places with Georgian wine in Europe. Georgia the US state has no prominence outside the US.
Important civil rights leaders, subjects of big-budget films, and namesakes for national holidays. Leaders of the free world. Internationally famous superstar actors, athletes, directors, and musicians. Overweight child pageant queens with lists of accomplishments as long as our current president's. Renowned TV personalities, Supreme Court justices, and comedians. And one unpleasant swamp creature that some smartass witch decided to prank by turning into a less pleasant member of Congress. from Georgia.
