why do people always stereotype rednecks as people that are stupid, bigots, slobs, etc.
i'm a redneck and i'm the complete opposite of that. i'm not stupid. i'm not racist. i call myself a redneck because of my southern heritage and values. and some of the southern values can be better than the values of some other people.

Well I think that it's a little sefl ful filling in way. I don't mean any disrespect but the blue collar tour helps and then again it doesn't. But I think that a part of being redneck now this is totally my own assuption could be because it started because some of the people the south the ones that weren't the big former plantiation owers were Irish. And if you look at American history there was a big up rising against the Irish when they came over at the war between the states. And they were treated badly and some people called them names and stuff like that. But eventually people forgot about these imgrants but not for there dislike of these people and hence perhaps the beging of rednecks ie freckles red neck. Now because these people obviously didn't have the means for upward movement they perhaps weren't able to edcate themselves and hence called ignorant. And it is true that without some education you can become ignorant if the rest of society ignores these people which is what seems to happen in America.
And now the word means something diffent with of course adaptions like the word cool.

LOL wonderful question. considering that I moved to Utah from Texas, i might could desire to assert hippie. After years of rednecks, I truthfully needed the substitute. Willie Nelson is an previous hippie and human beings look to love him althought he continues to be a Texan. Does that make him a redneck-hippie?

rednecks is the racial slur for hardworking white folks, generally low education is part of that - since these would be people who dropped out of school early to go work in factories or fields...
the term has been embraced by whites.. its kind of homey - and most rednecks are proud to call themself rednecks.. unlike the "N" word - it cannot be used negatively because whites are proud of it!!!
YEAH REDNECKS!!! (I myself am not a redneck)
