Wow...I can't believe this Thread turned into this...I really don't think anyone was calling Jenn218 a redneck...but that said I was born and raised in the South, my entire family is still living there...we are about as Southern as a family can be and because of that I have had to listen to jokes, stereotypes, accusations,racial slurs, and many other wrong observations about the South my entire life...redneck is just one of them. I have learned to let these comments role off my back.I have no opinion at all about Nasgar and any post that I posted was in regards to the definition of redneck. I am guilty of going off topic and for this I will apologize.As far as mullets are concerned I don't think the hairstyle has anything to do with being a redneck ; I personally do not think this is a flattering haircut but that is merely my opinion. If I offended anyone I am sorry but you probably don't like my haircut either. I won't let that bother me because you are entitled to your opinion and style choice as well.I spend an enormous amount of time working on race issues as an antiracism activist.Stereotypes are just one of the issues that we deal with.I think the important thing is to acknowledge all the people that live in this country...rednecks and all.By the way...there are many self-acclaimed rednecks that work with me on antiracist issues so not all rednecks are racist.
