Just like there are dirty people of every other demographic. Some just seem to congregate in certain places in higher concentrations.
If you took offense to that you might need to take a shower.
/lives in central indiana.......plenty of rednecks. Most are great people, lots are dirty scum.

But seriously, if i said i hate KFC because of all the "dirty black people" or Taco Bell because of all the "stinky mexicans" the race flag would be drawn. I may be a 15 year old kid, but i can tell when there's a double standard going on.
I mean come on now. That's a prejudice remark. But, okay. You're a mod. I know when to pick my battles.
My apologies for the rant and derailing this thread.

Do you get pissed at Jeff Foxworthy when he makes fun of rednecks?
gobucks1;3038557; said:Haha, i guess you're right, and i'm glad to see you can tell where i'm coming from.
Should it matter that it's not a "race" per se? Should they not be should the same respect as another "race"? I just think that if insulting one "race" as a group is against the rules, then insulting another "group of people" should be as well.
Race - One geographic or global human group distinguished as a distinct group based on characteristics shared by the group.
That's what my little crappy pocket dictionary for school defines it as. Is redneck not a "race" then?
And Jeff Foxworthy kinda makes me sick, honestly.
