Dixie was a popular song in the 1840's and later amongst union and southern troops during the civil war; however the sheet music then and later used an "Uncle Remus" style “black dialect” and it was often performed by blackfaced minstrels. I would certainly think that it would be offensive to many of today’s African Americans. And I would not consider their reaction to be political correctness just that it is offensive. I could always ask some black friends for a better and perhaps less presumptive answer.

EDIT: Wiki's take on it Dixie
