    I can somewhat agree with this, but I don't think most white Americans are all that offended when they're called a hick, hillbilly or a redneck, being called white/trailer trash for example is much more offensive, and is definitely racist. I still don't think it's as "racist" as a black person being called a "nigger", that's probably the king of all racial slurs.

    BTW, most of the rednecks I know are pretty nice guys, and i'm a bit of a redneck myself.

    Mars,

    I just don't understand how a racial slur for one group is more or less racist than another. Yes, most white Americans tend to be less sensitive towards slurs and stereotypes but that doesn't change the meaning.

    Yup less sensitive, stereotypical slurs don't bother us nearly as much, for the most part I just think it's funny when someone calls me white trash et al. I get your point tho bro, perhaps it's a bigger issue in the military/government then it is in civilian life.

    Just saying call me a redneck, whitebread, honky or whatever, just be sure to call me for supper or if you've got some beer.
    cheers

    My issue is that race is always a big issue in the US. We talk all the time about improving race relations but only as it affects minorities. There is a tremendous double standard about what is racist and what isn't and it bothers me. Discrimination may still largely be a one way street but racism is a full blown super highway.

    Questions for you @Mars_ax or anyone else.

    How many white farmers do you know that go around calling other farmers redneck / hillbilly / white trash?

    How many middle to upper class white city people have you heard use these terms?

    How about the rich and super rich?

    Also, is racist if a black man calls another black man "nigger"? Or only if a white person says it?

    Redneck and Nigger are actually pretty similar in regards to certain groups using them as a term of endearment, accepted use in certain mediums and almost a sense of pride in being called one (only by certain people of course). The rural/pastoral friends and family I have don't refer to themselves as any of those terms but I have met plenty of people that are quite proud to be a "redneck" Not all, but a large part of that last group also pretty well fit the ignorant bigoted stereotype. I rarely hear the term redneck etc from middle or upper class w/o a strong negative connotation. I'd say a black man calling another nigger is not a racist act but I do believe it still perpetuates a racist attitude.

    Amarillo and the northern plains are an aqcuired taste. I enjoy hunting up there but wouldn't want to live there. Sweetwater is a really nice place also with great hunting but expensive.
