This writer is an idiot. Ever heard of red-necks? (and I'm talking about the modern definition of red-necks) Ever heard of trailer-trash? And then there are the Mexicans who live around us. They have plenty of prejudices against other Mexicans. It's human nature.
Not really comparable. Rednecks vs. elitists is a difference of class and really has nothing to do with being white.
“Ghetto” vs. affluent is absolutely about what it means to be “black”. The affluent look down upon the ghetto ones because the ghettos are still playing the victim card, demanding that affirmative action remain in place. The ghetto types toss the famous Uncle Tom label at the affluent blacks, viewing them as a sort of sellout and a threat to their victim mentality of permanent handouts.
The term “peckerwood” is the preferred black slang term for a poor, uneducated white person.
Damn right. Ever watch Jeff Foxworthy make fun of rednecks?
