When did redneck become a pejorative worth censuring from a forum post? I am a proud hillbilly from Appalachian stock and consider myself to be a redneck.
I posted on the Ford Transit forums and they censured redneck. I guess I'm just to d@mned old.
Mostly I want to see if this forum does it too.

I don't think we have any issues with rednecks. In fact, many of the best Ranger problem solutions are from rednecks.

Without rednecks on this forum, um, I dunno ....

Might also be why Race Red is the BEST Ranger color. =D

It does not.
So far...
And even has its own thread!

It's hard to imagine anyone being offended by the term, Redneck.
Maybe class it up a little: le Rouge cou

Ya know, I can make a Beef Wellington with foie gras (ooh) but I prefer my Oscar Meyer Cheese Dogs and Flaming Hot Cheetoh's!

Although a can of Chef Boyardee Mini Ravioli makes my mouth water (lol, it actually is right now!). =p

I may give up the Beef Wellington snootiness after reading about it being used as a murder weapon!

Holy crap!

Don't worry about my Remington 870, worry about my Wellington duxelle! =D

Type it in Google. Or Wikipedia. Just about everything they come up with say it is a derogatory term.
Elon Musk's Grokipedia gives a much fairer view but is waaaaay to long. Not a big fan of the man but am of Starlink and now his Wikipedia alternative.

But I think the difference is that the person being called a redneck is not offended by the term, indeed proud of it, as opposed to other racial, ethnic, or gender terms.

This! The guy who cleared our lot back in AR had a huge REDNECK tattoo up his forearm. He was very proud to be one! 🤓

Well dang, I thought someone thought up an acronym using R.E.D.N.E.C.K.
So I tried one myself. It was tough. Spent nearly 20 minutes on this.
