    I'm waiting for you to defend the trusting, simple thinking fundamentalists.

    No need. It isn't the same thing. One thing is a choice, the other is not. You could argue that being a fundamentalist is evidence of simple thinking. That's acceptable. But to argue that a person's class/ethnicity is so isn't acceptable. "Redneck" and "fundamentalist" aren't likes. They are apples and oranges.

    I didn't say black or hispanic. So Burns, that's irrelevant
    Doesn't matter. Substituting terms illustrates the ugliness of what you said.

    No it doesn't, because substituting those would completely change what I said and you know it.

    Redneck is not a class or ethnic identity either. It's lifestyle and frame of mind.

    Redneck
    in the US, the term is offensive to many, and refers to Southern laborer-class whites.

    They both are choices. Are you trying to be a comedian?

    Only in that it would refer to a different group.

    No, but I think you are making a very poor attempt at being one. The kids down the street from me didn't choose their cultural identity. That is who they are. Same as me with my own identity, or you with yours.

    Wikipedia is written by any old body, like you for instance. I have seen you totally nail people to the wall for quoting Wiki. I find the wiki article on the term redneck inaccurate and frankly as ridiculous as a lot of very liberal political correctness.

    Changing the subject to a nitpick on a quote now. Blah blah blah.

    Burn, you can choose to be a redneck or not. Lots of people are born to redneck parents and grow up and live a completely different lifestyle. And what's more, you know this.

    You used Wikipedia, did you not?
