London Times Takes On Rednecks. Read more.

Read more here, or you can start with the excerpt below:

There is only one minority left in American society that can still be safely treated with disdain and mockery: the rednecks.

The gun-toting, squirrel-eating, banjo-plucking, Bible-bashing, truck-driving, stock car-racing white rural poor are a staple caricature of popular culture. The hillbilly of fighting Scots-Irish stock, brutally ignorant, steeped in moonshine, violent and possibly inbred, can be played for laughs, as Jed Clampett, or Cletus Del Roy Spuckler in The Simpsons. Or for fear, as in the murderous, toothless killers of the film Deliverance.
