Personally.....I try not to use either one....not for PC reasons, but because they just dont seem nice. It would seem from the above posts that its really a matter of context. I will admit to my own bigotry towards the "Jerry Spriinger" mentality, but it is far from a strictly white attitude. I think this takes it out of the racism realm, and drops it squarely in the world of Ignorance. While I see my own personal dislike of ignorant people , and accept it as a Bias, I am hard pressed to define this lack of imagination by color of skin.
These perceptions of a "Type" of person are my own.....and I have my own discriptive terminology for differing levels of brain challenge, Redneck simply isnt part of the mental list I use.
