I find the term "redneck" annoying. I have no problems when the "you know you're a redneck when" jokes are told, because it is towards no one in particular. However, when someone uses the term while describing a particular person, that is along the same lines as the other ethnic slang terms. (you know the ones, every nationality, race, religion, and sexual orientation has them).
Lighten up and accept people the way they are.

Redneck isn't an ethnic slang word, sorry.

Would you prefer cracker?
And I agree: calling someon a redneck is not an ethnic slur. Besides, if you don't have a car on blocks on your front lawn, or beer cans strewn across your back lawn, or a confederate flag waving from your pickup truck (the one that actually works), then the label doesn't fit you.

I was just thinking that the person does not sound very smart and I think it makes Axiom look bad, just my opinion. I thought it was funny at first (in a bad way) and now I really wish they would change it to someone else.

I find "redneck" to be mildly offensive when used in such an insulting way. It implies a poor white person who must work outside to earn a living. More offensive is the term "white boy", which is currently very popular among some other ethnic groups around here.
