What about when I white person calls another white person a "redneck" or a "cracker"? This can hardly be construed as racist.

I think this is more likely a slander or stereotyping...

The word nigger is used to describe *all* blacks.
The word kike *all* jews.

The list goes on.

Redneck is not universally applicable to *all* whites.

As a result, I feel it falls into a different category than a racist word.
