You definitely have a point there. After all, I don't see anyone calling for affirmative action in the NBA to increase white representation on the court. 
But seriously, when I think about the way the term "redneck" is used, I think about derogatory stereotypes that are based partially upon whiteness. Redneck is roughly equivalent to "racist, uncultured, stupid, messy, white southerner" in most contexts, I think.
