No...that just means you're some dumbass racist kid from the EU who's critical of something he doesn't fully understand...

It explains that in August 1921 an estimated 10,000 union coal miners gathered outside of Charleston, West Virginia and marched to the southwestern coalfields. Their reason was simple: free their fellow miners from the oppression placed on them by greedy coal companies. To distinguish themselves from non-union miners and scabs, they all wore red bandanas around their necks, hence, they were called “rednecks.”

At that time, to be a redneck meant you were a professional trying to make a better life for yourself, your children, and your fellow miners. It was a compliment.

Most miners had taken to wearing blue bib overalls and tying around their necks a red bandana which soon became the hallmark of the insurgent army, leading both friends and foes to refer to them as “rednecks.”
