Using today's stardards should calling someone a Redneck, especially because of the stereotype, just as offensive as using the N word, or the J word ? Is it ok because it is a term used towards southern white boys

Part of the problem is lack of accountability on the actual weight of certain words. For example, people can "get away" with stuff like dropping n-bombs on this site because there is no fear of coming down with punched-in-the-face syndrome. Just don't fucking do it; if for nothing else, out of respect. The idea of "words are just words", while rooted in nobility, isn't reality.
