Tentacruel Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 So I've been thinking. The majority of the USA is against racism, right? However, there seems to be some negative feelings towards people of certain areas in the south. The term "Redneck" is sometimes used as an insult to describe someone that is possibly racist, close-minded or of low intelligence. Now, as far as I see it, this might as well be stereotyping.

The Amazing Avian Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 The original plan was equality for everyone, apparently it didn't include everyone. Basically unless you're a rich white guy, you will get screwed over somehow. Especially in the very poor economic condition the country is in.

Stop bringing this issue to race. Seriously what happened to this equality you were talking about? If you really wanted "Equality" you wouldn't even acknowledge races.

Tentacruel Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yeah but that has nothing to do with the Constitution or the feds. It's the freaking rich white people that have all the money. They're to blame! KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! MWAHAHAHA!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Nowadays it's just used as a joke in good humor and an appreciation of the culture. Anyone going beyond that is either blind or a fool, and it doesnt account for all of america by any margin at all. Like how I call Miror B., "Cowboy" as a term of respect even though he's pretty damn far from being one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Starrk Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 What people dont get is that most racist jokes are actually stereotypical jokes. Sure, they are pointed at one race, but racism is putting one race before the other and in these types of jokes, it's an image and stupid universal idea of the race.

Brushfire Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 It's funny how you guys seem to be mixing capitalism with racism, but whatever. To the point of the OP, stereotyping a southern person a redneck is no different to stereotyping a black man a thief. Of course, I'd like to think we're past saying things like that in a negative way by now. I tend to purposely be racist to my black mate, as he knows that I'm joking... not sure if that kind of light humour is appreciated everywhere.

Thar Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 It doesn't matter if it's racist or not. Giving titles of race or class is stereotyping, and as bad as it has gotten over the years, it cannot be stopped without being considered a hypocrite. ...yeah.
