...a lot of white people on the receiving end of these insults certainly cannot be said to be, as individuals, in positions of power, just because they have the same colour skin as those that are.
Nevertheless I personally cannot see what is racist about the term redneck. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought was used to refer to someone's political outlook not their race.
