97. I'm not noticing stereotypes or condescension in the post you responded to
Seemed to be essentially a response to the OP describing her experiences with "rednecks"; no more, no less. In fact, the OP contained substantially more in the way of generalizations, even if they were largely positive ones. I'm not sure what's so "condescending" about, for example, noting that some rednecks do indeed go to college, or that some of them are nice, while some aren't, etc. And from my experience, growing up around my share of "rednecks", I'd have to agree with Erin Elizabeth's assessment. Rednecks aren't the monolithic group they are negatively stereotyped to be, but I think it's inaccurate to put them, as a group, on a pedestal, either. (And I'm still wondering exactly what sort of rednecks the OP has been around for him to describe them as the *least* racist group of people he's ever been around...)
