You raise another interesting point Dawg... terms like Cracker and Redneck are, to my knowledge, only used to describe North Americans.

I just have a hard time imagining a Russian, an Italian, a French, a Brit or any European being called Redneck.

And yet, any Chinese person, anywhere can be called a Chink, or black man a Nigger, etc.

Again, as others have pointed out, Redneck just doesn't hold up as racist under scrutiny.

Slur yes... Racist slur... not so much.
