In this context, I define "Hillbilly", "Redneck" or even "Backward-Ass Country F##k" as anyone who has racist beliefs. From Archie Bunker types (Brooklyn New York) to old-time Mississippi Judges and courts who didn't convict a white man of a crime against a black man until 1971(?) (I use the question mark because the year may be a bit off...I wish I could remember the EXACT facts but I can't. But I am close).
Ps...I'm from Indiana and have an accent that makes people from "The North" ask me what "Southern State" I'm from...I proudly call it my "Indiana-Hillbilly Accent". And I count many GOOD "Hillbillys", "Rednecks" and "Backward-Ass Country F##ks" as some of my best and dearest friends...They are some of the best people I have ever known. Don't like my definitions? I really don't care. (No offense to you personally).
