more about hillbillys?

Question

are people really offended by the term hillbillys? in a previous question these were some of the things people said:
"People get upset because that is a derrogatory term. To me a hillbilly has screwed up priorities. For example, they will live in a shack, but drive a new Escalade or Corvette. Or they will say they don't have money to pay their bills, but they will go buy cigarettes and beer. Usually, hillbillies have hygiene problems"

"It usually means someone is uneducated and lacks social skills"

It is people like this who make hillbillys out to be bad people. People like this probably have never even met a hillbilly, because heaps of them do not have bad hygiene and have good social skills. Ignorant people like these, who made these comments should stop stereotyping people. Do you agree?

Answer 1

You did a pretty good job of sterotyping and insulting a group of people.

Answer 2

I agree.
But people are gonna think what they want too. I think Hillbillies are nice people. They dont care to help ya out if ya in trouble. Most would give the shirt off there back if ya needed it.
True, some are un-educated, but that doesnt make them a bad person. Not everyone can afford college.
And most people assume everyone from West Virginia or Virginia are Hillbillies. While sum are, there are hillbillies everywhere.
I think they are just people who live by tradition. They dont need all the technology & such to get by in the world today. They know how to make it without all the stuff.
Hillbillies=Country Folk

Answer 3

I agree totally. That is like people who live in mobile homes are considered trailer trash. That is a big misconception. We just like the idea of not paying the big prices that come with the big houses.

Answer 4

Yes I agree. People need to stop worrying about other people and start worrying about whether or not their own actions are insulting or derogatory to those around them.
