RayGun had it right. I’m sure there was a government grant to figure out a formula for whose home-town is more redneck than another. Who else would need to know or want to know? First, the dictionary defines redneck as: A white person who lives in a small town or in the country especially in the southern U.S., who typically has a working-class job, and who is seen by others as being uneducated and having opinions and attitudes that are offensive.” So if you are a person of color, I guess you can NOT be a redneck. I’m pretty sure there’s plenty of outrage and offense for any and all subgroups in Iowa. Now the components that make a town more or less Red Neck:
Number of bars per city
Number of mobile home parks per capita
Number of tobacco stores per city
Number of places to get fishing gear
Number of guns and ammo stores per city
Walmarts, Golden Corrals, Bass Pro Shops, and dollar stores nearby
So according to the ‘science’ of Jeff Foxworthy and Red Green geeks, you might be a redneck if you live in:
Fort Dodge
Spirit Lake
Denison
Bloomfield
West Liberty
Missouri Valley
Fort Madison
Red Oak
Maquoketa
Osceola
