Redneck is still a class slur, and is never/very rarely pointed toward anyone but white people.
If you can tie it to "I don't want to live near <x>," it is likely a slur of some sort.
- gingerrr 10y agoPerhaps I should have said geocultural slur then, I agree that it's still meant to denigrate a particular group of people. Despite it mainly being associated with white people, I don't think it's equivalent to something like "white trash" which explicitly targets a race - "redneck" to me seems more akin to just "trashy", which is why I think it's more class-targeted as you mention.
