Anyone have a definition of a redneck? when you see a guy in a rusty pickup truck do you just assume he is a redneck or what?

The ignorant here never miss a chance to insult the South. They are so ignorant that they think rednecks only reside in the South. Some need an education. They need to look around where they live.

Michigan has enough of its own rednecks and they are not from the South.

We've got plenty of rednecks out here in Southern California. There are also a ton of rednecks in NY.

There are just a lot more of them in Missouri, and the local culture is dominated by redneck/bubba behavior.

You should've asked about the Southern U.S., not the Midwest. LOL.

lmao. I love how you are so unhappy with your own life that you have to insult people. Why don't you make another thread to bash the sunbelt while you are at it?

And for the record, the only people I hear saying "Missourah" are politicians. Not people in the Ozarks and not people in the Bootheel. If you ever find yourself out this way, get back on Interstate "Farty Far" and head east.

I would say Ohio. Missouri's southern parts are more than redneck, it's straight up hillbilly in parts. But most of MO is not like that so I choose Ohio. KC and StL are not redneck at all, but they do have a few blue collar surburban areas.

While Cleveland and Cincy don't have many, it sure seems like Columbus has more than its fair share for a larger city and the rural areas of Ohio are worse than the other states on here in my opinion.

It's funny that midwestern states are always singled out as being redneck. I think Maryland and Virginia and Pennsylvania have more redneck culture than most Midwest states. People in the Midwest like most of MO, NE, KS, IL etc are just farmers, working class farmers driving F150 fords trucks.

People in the rural parts of MD, VA, WV, PA etc are much more hard core redneck. I have seen more confederate decals on big loud pick up trucks with huge 10" exhaust pipes and what not in the rural parts (and even some suburban) around the east coast than I ever did in the rural areas around Kansas City and St Louis. I think it's one reason people on the east coast have such a bad image of the midwest. They go to rural areas near Philly, Pittsburgh, DC, etc and think that the Midwest must be even worse. That's just not the case.
