I meant no disrespect. I’m pretty country myself and I don’t think redneck is derogatory. In fact a lot of country folk are proud to call themselves rednecks. This is evident in popular culture, for example in songs like ‘Redneck Yacht Club’ and ‘Boys ‘Round Here’, two very popular country songs (they’re good; listen to them).
- dang 7y agoUnderstood, and I believe you. The problem is that intent doesn't come across by itself in internet comments. We don't have things like tone of voice or facial expression to make it clear. So if you're going to post something like this, the burden is on you to include enough information to disambiguate intent. "Haha" isn't enough information.
- mwilliaams 7y agoYes, you are right. I think we all run in to this every once in a while.
