Re: pic: The Fighting Rednecks
I don't understand how redneck is an offensive name. Many people who are "rednecks" happily refer to themselves as such(I can be a bit of one sometimes) and wear it as a badge of honor. It's true that it is a stereotype, but not all stereotypes are bad. Stereotypes are a very human development that allows people to create categories and groups in their minds, to draw associations and make connections between people.
The problem is when those stereotypes are negative and insulting.
