Out of curiosity, I tuned in to the first episode of this show. I had to turn it off because I got nauseated watching the family bob for raw pigs’ feet. Also, seeing the black dirt crusted on the mother’s elbows didn’t help. I think part of the aim of the show’s producers is to portray these throwbacks as typical Southerners.
The Boo-Boo bunch refers to themselves as rednecks, but they are not. I live in a rural Virginia farming community which is filled with rednecks-—in other words, good people who work outside with their hands. There’s nothing shameful AT ALL in being a redneck, and they are nothing like the trash on this show.
I agree. Many are using the term “red neck” when they mean “white trash”. There is a big difference. Red neck is a respectable term....white trash, not so.
