west virginia is deep appalachia though

for sure

same with western maryland and eastern ohio

ohio's pretty redneck

especially in the southeast

spose it depends on your def of redneck vs backwater vs hillbilly vs mountain folk

yes, the bits bordering west virginia

but when i think redneck i think georgia alabama

I mean, you really consider the term, it's from heavy farming states

great plains and all that

because you're spending all your day in the field, in the sun, you get a red neck

vex that's because of public school conditioning and brainwashing

and going off of that, ohio would definitely count

also yes

it's a racial slur against whites

obviously

redneck is synonymous to white trash these days

because whites sunburn when they're out working

you can argue the semantics of the word and what it should mean, doesnt change how it's typically used

and speaking as someone who's been to alabama and through atlanta and s georgia plenty, it's plenty redneck

yes, it's literally used to insult working class whites and call them trash

Only man I know living an incestuous lifestyle is in "Great Plains" - and that's not Alabama to my knowledge. Not that that's any data at all 😄

"white trash" is such a disgusting term too

mm i think it's closer to meaning "whites who live in trailer parks w thick accent and not middle class" doesnt mean it is technically meant as an insult

could be used as an insult, same way dago or wop would be

I tend to think of "white trash" as more a trailer park thing

I've heard "redneck" used as an endearing term, like redneck engineering, but I've never heard white trash used in a positive way

like saying someone is from the ghetto or is ghetto trash may not be meant to insult em

same way redneck can be used

or uhh the same way nword-a is used

up here redneck is a pretty positive term

mainly because we're all farmers

yeah its used here in florida pretty positively

lol where in FL

anyway my point was i have friends in alabama that would happily agree with the label, they enjoy their baiyou life

I lived in miami for a while and it's an insult for sure

st augustine

oh so real florida

fair
