I didn't even know rednecks existed. I leave for a couple of days & come back & see this long thread over my original post. Whooaa! So I start reading through it & find these definitions of rednecks.
Okay, first, I live in Canada near the very cosmopolitan city of Vancouver - filled with all sorts of racial & ethnic types - a wonderful variety. You could find restaurants serving any sort of food from around the world there. But the furthest south I've been is Seattle & that was many, many years ago.
I figured rednecks were simply a caricature about hillbilly type people that didn't exist, or so I thought...
Sheeze, folks, I didn't know there really were people like that! Still find it hard to believe. I thought it was a joke like portraying Canadians as people living in igloos with 10 months of winter, all riding sleds with teams of huskies - something that's funny because it isn't like that.I still think my humour piece was funny, & I have trouble believing anyone would fit those descriptions. No one acts in that crude a manner. At least, I sure hope not.
