  4. Education and Occupation Most rednecks are seen as unintelligent and homely, but in all reality, they are some of the most hard working people in this country. Given, some do not finish high school or go to college, they find occupations in something that they have done their entire lives. These fore-thought “rednecks” have their own talents in which drive our economy as we know it.

  6. Redneck Stereotype Uneducated Poor Alcoholics Always dirty Only listen to country music Always wear camouflage

  7. Rednecks now Today, rednecks are seen as inferior to most. This is definitely an unfair stereotype against Southerners that share common characteristics.

One day the term redneck is just going to be another fad that no one even notices.
