>>Seriously, "redneck humor" is not the same as snobbery and class separation. I eat chicken from KFC. I watch NASCAR. We have had comics and entire ranges of "Redneck comedians." Have you heard of "You know you're a redneck when..." I think when there is real snobbery and class separation, it all looks like it from afar.

>One group (relatively well off and educated) makes fun of another group (probably poorer and lacking education) because they think they are better than they are. What do you call that. I say if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck its a duck.
But, but... I'm an equal opportunity mocker. I don't care how much money they have (usually more than I). Actually, redneck habits (or their equivalents here) become funny only when they start pretending they aren't rednecks because they got money or a diploma. As our old proverb says, "ox to Vienna, ox from Vienna".
That being said, I just came back from the street after mowing my lawn with a real scythe :) (which we sharpened with a Dremel powered through a 110V adapter...). And if weather serves, I'm off to our garden in the village tomorrow, riding a bicycle for some 17km, to do some digging and earn a proper red neck.
