I think it started as a classist thing, but people have used it in a racist way, for sure.

Any race can be a redneck technically.

It's racial but not racist
It refers to a specific type of white person

Never heard anyone not white called a redneck, and I would guess there's quite a bit of assumed racism to go along with the label.

not racist, the term is used to refer to just about any hillbilly type of person regardless of skin color. It's just that most of those people tend to be white

I have. My family and I are Puerto Rican of mixed race. Some of them live in rural and suburban areas of Florida and refer to each other as rednecks pretty often.

Yea, not really racist but people have used it in a racist way for sure

A lot of people who use it seem to think just about anything outdoor related makes you a redneck though so I hardly even see it as an insult anymore

I think I know what are you saying. And being a teenager in the 90s, yeah. People did say that word I will not utter only referred to certain black people. Please don't mod me, as looking back it was most definitely fucked up.

Oh, I don't think it is comparable either. Say redneck all you want.

This just reminded me of that and made me cringe.

It's kind of a redneck by redneck basis, but yeah there's plenty of non-racist rednecks

it's more classist than racist

it also has a less "popular" association with a segment of the early 20th century labor movement
