Feel free to point out exactly at which point I made a fool out of myself. Up until then, feel free to stop pulling conclusions from thin air.
That seems to be what you're doing. Making fun of rednecks isn't racism and you have yet to show evidence to support your opinion -which you'll never be able to do.
So I guess that you must have just skipped over the parts where I quoted information directly from online dictionaries. One of which has been producing dictionaries since 1831?
Oh thats right, youre Nik. YOU know everything. Im so sorry. Please forgive me good sir.

the part where everyone is laughing at a stupid joke and you being the only one offended and you arent even a redneck. Thats the part where you made a fool of yoruself. YOU are the only one that cares and it doesnt even affect YOU. Now, why dont you just sit down, follow brutskends pill advice and laugh at a dumb joke thats not offensive.
So then I shouldnt stand up against X even if it doesnt apply to me? I seem to remember some old story that goes something like this:
Something is being taken away from person X. Since I am not person X, and since it doesnt apply to me, I do nothing. Next, something is being taken away from person Y. Since I am not person Y, and since it doesnt apply to me, I do nothing. This series goes on for a bit, until finally something is being taken from me. At this point, everybody else has had that something already taken away from then. Since I abandoned my fellows in the past, now I stand alone against the masses.
Even though it doesnt apply to me doesnt mean I should ignore it. I sure hope you arent saying that I shouldnt speak up for another group of people(blacks, whites, jews, rednecks) if I am not a member of said group. That doesnt seem very human to me.
Besides, there may come the day when I am discriminated against, and I would surely hope that I would not be standing alone.
