If Mr Rudd thinks there are rednecks in Alabama he’s obviously never been to west of the Blue Mountains. They got rednecks - ranchers, miners, truckers and... uh, professional women. Think Eastern Nevada only BIG. Fun place actually. Watch the snakes.
Mr Rudd could have perhaps said something different but Robin Williams is an ass. Of course whites are fair game.

When did “White Trash” become respectable and “Redneck” take it’s place?
I MUST BE A REDNECK ‘CAUSE I’M NOT UPSET AT ANYBODY!
...and aborigines only got the right to vote in 1962...
Now, wait. The rednecks of Alabama are upset at being referred to as rednecks????
Thereby earning the title of red neck A.G.
Like the Aussie sentence or not, there was no crime committed in Alabama.
Why in the world do people watch or care about anything said by either Robin Williams or David Letterman??
All of you folks, LIGHTEN UP!!!
This kind of hysterical pantie-twisting histrionics is for Dems and Libs.
Sit down, drink your beer and chill out!
Actually, that is what the British think about Australians (LOL)....I have heard it from them many times.
Australia and Alabama...giving Mississippi a rest. Thanks.
Not enough attention has been given to this gem.
First off, Robin Williams has had 4 vessel heart bypass, and heart disease brought on by his chronic use of cocaine and alcohol. Other than being an excellent mimic, his knowledge of “rednecks” is without basis, but a simple place to go to make fun of working people... which he has never been. A redneck as a term has always been a proud one in the South. In 1891 it referred to working people and rural folks, farmers, who got necks red from the sun. A term of pride of place and hard work. Only a bigot like Williams could come up with this description of Australians. Australians were sent there as punishment- Van Deemans land. And they are way tougher than most Brits, period, and our most loyal allies for decades.
The term “redneck” was also used in The West Virginia Coal Miners March (1921) in the Battle of Blair Mountain when the coal miners wore red bandannas around their necks to identify themselves as seeking the opportunity to unionize. There was no derogatory implication at all, and the federal government sent US troops with machine guns and aircraft dropping bombs to kill hundreds of them, and help the mine owners, political friends of Warren G. Harding and the criminal sheriff of Mingo County, WV. In this part of the world, redneck is very much a term of great pride. Neither Williams or Rudd would know that, and both are aholes.
Just wait until they find out the differencebetween a ‘cracker’ and a saltine...
