ive been to OK and TX a lot, but, up here, the term "red neck" has no where NEAR the connotation of the "N" word, and can hardly be compared.
i refer to redneck like - hick, hillbilly, mullet wearing, gun toting, squirrel eating redneck...
if you watch the humor of jeff foxworthy " you know your a redneck when.."
and many others..its not really a north/south thing, at least to the person you talked to.

Lady,
I was at the border of North and South Carolina. I'm no where near versed in the different regionalisms of our country, but he sure sounded like a confederate flag wearing, pickup truck, shot gun toting, possum munching, I won't say inbred sounding, but, he definitely seemed like a stereotypical "redneck".
Speaking of which, a friend of mine, a white girl married to a filipino guy couple, told me an interesting story. They used to live in the boonies of Louisiana, and she told me that the locals there looked at her, and said that she didn't look like she was from those parts. Naturally my friend asked why, because she's white. The lady told her that her facial structure seemed different.
That's when she realized it was because she wasn't inbred.
I'm telling you, I don't call the stereotypes! I just hear about them!
