家园 红脖子

维基的解释是

Redneck 是一個美國俗語,即表示一些思想頑固,受過很少教育的農民和鄉村白种人士。由於見識不多而又不願接受新事物,所以行為落後。Redneck 原本是美國北方人對南方人的稱呼,有少少蔑視的含意。但時至今日,Redneck 已經代表典型美國南方人的一種文化象徵。

英文版

Redneck is a historically derogatory slang term used in reference to poor, uneducated white farmers, especially from the southern United States.[1][2] It is similar in meaning to cracker (especially regarding Georgia and Florida), hillbilly (especially regarding Appalachia and the Ozarks),[3] and white trash (but without the last term's suggestions of immorality).[4][5][6]

In recent decades, the term has expanded its meaning to refer to bigoted, loutish reactionaries who are opposed to modern ways,[7] and has often been used to attack Southern conservatives and racists.[8] At the same time, some Southern whites have reclaimed the word, using it with pride and defiance as a self-identifier.[9]
