You're an idiot. It's stereotypical, not racist. Racism is believing that an entire race is sub-human because of the color of their skin, not because they're rednecks.

:roll:

Too many freaking MORONS throw that term around today without the slightest clue what it means.

Making fun of a jew does not make you racist, dipshit. :roll:

Well I may make an exception in your case. ;)

Don't you have anything better to do tonight?
So that means that youve accepted the fact that its racism? Or that you just cant think of anything else to say?

No I have excepted no such thing. I will agree with Nik though as to the fact the you are a idiot. ;)

Sorry, racism isnt because of the color of their skin. As per dictionary.com:
" 1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race."

Look up for the dictionary.com definition on race, note the bold parts, then come back.

I see. Seeing as how youve exhausted what you know and cannot find anything to back you up, youve now resorted to name calling. Good job sir.

Redneck isn't a race. Jewish is a faith.

Either way, you lose.

Besides, race isn't dependant on the color of your skin? What planet are you from? What planet is dictionary.com from, for that matter. Race is nothing but the color of your skin.

BTW I have a broken down pick Up truck in my driveway right now which probably makes ME closer to white trash than a LOT of people on this board. If the damn thing didn't PISS me OFF, why should it YOU!??! :Q

Please excuse Abix. He's pissed that one of his tires on his house are flat and he's just venting. Go on Abix, let it all out. It's going to be ok.

Maybe his sister turned him down for a date again :Q And, when he went running to his mommy to cry, she wouldn't put out either!

Rednick isnt a race? Then all that stuff about geographical area(south USA) in the defintion of race as well as "Humans considered as a group." must of course lead to "redeck" not being a race.

Redneck: "Used as a disparaging term for a member of the white rural laboring class, especially in the southern United States."

But what do I know, Im not accepting the social norm, I MUST be wrong.

Dictionary.com:
racist:"adj 1: based on racial intolerance; "racist remarks" 2: discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion [syn: antiblack, anti-Semitic, anti-Semite(a)] n : a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others [syn: racialist]"

Of course dictionary.com must be wrong here.

I think it is very likely that is the case.

Redneck/hillbilly is a way of life, not a race. I'm a "white rural laboring class" and I'm not a redneck or hillbilly. Ignore my handlebar mustache (otherwise known as a Jerkstache). You can group people together all you want, but that doesn't mean that group is a race.

Abix, even white trash call themselves white trash. Even rednecks make redneck jokes. The only one offended in the whole goddamn world is you!

Now you can be racist if you're prejudiced against a religion? :roll: Now I KNOW the people at dictionary.com are smoking ****** crack.

As for all the "close-to-home" remarks, Im actually an Indian(dot, not feather)/Italian which is about as far from a "redneck" as is possible. So, Im afraid that your attempted gibes have fell short.

Another fun thing to note is that dictionary.com shows both redneck and (the n-word) to be offensive slang. Its quite amusing that both are used to disparage against a race, yet one is socially-accepted, whereas the other is not.

I don't care what dictionary.com says; the term "redneck" is not racist because being a redneck isn't a race. You can have Indian rednecks. You can have Etheopian rednecks. You can have mexican rednecks and chinese and japanese rednecks. It's a lifestyle, not a race.

Once again, redneck is not a race anymore than YUPPIE or HIPPIE or WASP etc. is a race. It's a life style if anything.
