Why do people who are not from NYC get upset when we call them "rednecks"?
I don't get the offense. I was born and raised in NYC and I am grateful that I grew up around the best museums, the best restaurants, the best art galleries, the best schools, so it's natural I love my city and feel bad for people who don't have what I have.
Yet, whenever I use the word "redneck" to describe someone, he has a fit. My Air B&B guest got all uptight screaming that he is not a redneck that the midwest does have great schools and opera houses and museums. Maybe, but they're not the Met or Columbia or NYU.

Thank God, I am not from that cesspool called NYC. I do not get upset when someone calls me a Redneck, in fact good people take it as a complement when a stupid brain dead liberal idiot calls them a Redneck.
I see a lot more wrong with stupid brain dead liberal idiots like you than I have ever seen in rednecks.
If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd
choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up. God, guns, guts, and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of (and those of us who believe we have the right to bear arms in the protection of our way of life and our family).
A redneck is never offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God..'
A redneck has never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.
A redneck still says ' Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival.'
A redneck always bow their head when someone prays.
A redneck always stands and place their hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem
A redneck always treats our armed forces veterans with great respect, and always have.
A redneck has never burned an American flag, nor intend to. (Except as part of a proper flag disposal!)
A redneck always knows what they believe and isn't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.
A redneck always respects their elders and raised their kids to do the same.
A redneck is always wiling to give their last dollar to a friend.
Rednecks always believe in God, and knows God is the one that made the earth and everything on it.
Yes, rednecks are good US citizens, while you stupid brain dead liberal idiots are the scum of the earth. Yes, I know the truth hurts you, all I have to say is either change, or learn to live with it.

I guess I'd rather be called a redneck over being called an elitist snob.

Rednecks were WV union miners that wore red bandanas over their faces during confrontations against the companies. All the miners wore them around their necks so that they could not pick out the active strikers.
So in your uneducated world of NYC BS you mistakenly believe the fable that the name came from farmers being in the sun.
Who you are trying to insult are your unions.
