This is seriously something that grinds my gears. I'm not sure if it is hate or to annoy us. I can't go on a site or XBL without being called a "redneck" or "white trash". Yes, I have an accent. Yes, I like hunting and fishing. Yes, I like big trucks, but that's besides the point. We are one of the most made fun of groups in the US. Everyone think we like Nascar, or we hate African Americans, like sweet tea, and etc. I hate it especially when they correct our Grammar. I say ya'll and ain't, and I'll get hated for it. Everyone thins we are poor and uneducated. It's something that just bothers me, and I can't help it. Anyways what do you guys think?

EDIT: It's okay, I wouldn't know any better. I'm just a dumb redneck.

I seriously don't know why. We are just kind, GOD loving people, but people just hate us for it.

I can see why this would get very annoying. I also get annoyed when people make black jokes towards me, even when I know they're just joking.

People just like to be rude, and hateful. It's different if it's a joke, but it's still offensive.

No one makes fun of Daryl, purchase a crossbow, and join the zombie apocalypse; no one will make fun of you then.




If they have the need to harass you, then so be it. Simply mute them, and join games with friends where your company is actually appreciated.

You're far from being the most hated on group, Pal. I'll tell you that right now.

1 Statistically, southerners have lower education than other parts of the US. Not all, of course, just the average person.

2. You're not poor but people in the south have less money. Houses are cheaper down there and so are wages. It just makes sense.

3. If you search Redneck on google you get this definition: a working-class white person, esp. a politically reactionary one from a rural area.
Is that not true?
