You're confusing fictional stereotypes with reality.
Poor whites might live in trailers or ramshackle homes in some areas, but that doesn't mean they're perverts or unclean. And incest was never limited to any particular group or economic strata.

Foxworthy and others, like Larry the Cable Guy, use those stereotypes for comedy. They know this isn't truth...and so should you.

Agree it's not the literal truth, of course, it's entertainment. But, all good comedy, redneck or otherwise, works because there is at least a smidgen of truth to build at least, an abstract caricature upon. Even if it borrows from Deliverance to do it.

Well I never really heard of redneck till I joined the military in 1983. We always just called folks country or city. I grew up with and still know country folk who get by with little store bought items. I guess they are preppers now.

You need to pay attention. Look at Jeff Foxworthy's "You may be a redneck if..." comedy routine.

"You may be a redneck if your family tree doesn't have any branches." - you're a pervert who has sex with his relatives.

"You may be a redneck if you keep a can of RAID on the kitchen table." - your personal habits are so filthy your house is infested with vermin.

It goes on and on. If people call you a redneck they are insulting you, and if you call yourself a redneck you are doing a geek show while people laugh at you.



Right... Jeff Foxworthy is the guy I'm looking to for cultural information.

So when a comedian busts on cops, guess those that are cops should be embarrassed...
When comedians bust on politicians, all politicians should be embarrassed... Ok, this one is probably true.

Oh crap, Ron White was busting on airports... I'm never flying again.

Lighten up, have some fun, or I'll call you a redneck... And we all know how bad that would be!

The term "redneck" is a racially derogatory term applied

exclusively to members of the white race.1

1. The term "redneck" is defined as "a member of the white rural laboring

class . . .offensive slang." The American Heritage Dictionary 1037 (2d

college ed. 1985). In Webster's New World Dictionary, "redneck" is defined

as $$a poor, white rural resident of the South: often a somewhat derogatory

term." Webster's New World Dictionary 1190 (2d college ed. 1976).

However, the term encompasses a broader group than just persons with certain

undesirable characteristics. It stereotypes a subgroup of the white race

without any evidence that each member of the group actually possesses

these attitudes.

Honestly, I don't think I am a Redneck. If I though I were, I'd admit it. And if upon meeting me, if one or more of you though of me as a Redneck, I wouldn't mind. And when folks treat me like I am stupid because I have a southern accent, I get such a kick out of that and I will laugh the entire time. When I'm laughing it is because I feel like I am watching a comedy skit being put on right before my eyes. And the opening joke is the irony of someone treating another person poorly just because they talk like all the folks in their own region combined with the absurdity of presuming that intellect, experience and education has a certain accent.

The South is still pretty much redneck country once you leave the metropolitan areas. Note the current popularity of the "Duck Dynasty" TV show. Ken Sweet

I've never even heard of that show. :confused: I need to get out more or something.

No you don't...I saw part of it once...POS "reality" show. And like most "Reality" shows, those people are paid to act like idiots...sort of like an extended version of the old Jerry Springer show ("I married my sister and slept with her husband")
