This sentence would suggest a blanket pronouncement what what is done in all of America, not just certain states. "America is..." is a statement about the whole country, not just certain states and "they still practice" further reinforces that this sentence is about what "they", the Americans as a whole, still do. Anyone familiar with my posts knows I'm not hesitant to criticize the rednecks and knuckle-draggers of my own country but Cato has a point. At the very least, you were careless with your choice of words. It happens to everyone.
