I think a true redneck is proud to be one and would not take offense! In some parts of NC it really is a term of endearment! Don't you listen to country music? People brag about being rednecks. It's ok!!

Some African American hip hop artists and comedians make liberal use of the N word. That doesn't make it okay.
"Redneck" is not a perjorative, unless you are demeaning someone and perverting the origin of the term.
It isn't? I think that you should inform the people at Merriam-Webster.
