Potentially Offensive
Using 'redneck' can insult someone. It hints at narrow-mindedness or prejudice among rural, working-class whites. 
Context Matters
'Redneck' might be embraced or funny among friends but is rude when outsiders use it. 
Avoid Stereotyping
Be careful not to assume traits or behaviors about someone labeled as a 'redneck.'
