For what it's worth, as an American member of an interracial family, I'm not really inclined to lend much credence to someone who is so unfamiliar with our culture that they think of blacks as "rednecks". Make sure you dot your "i"s and cross your "t"s, and while you're at it, let us know how much direct experience you have with American culture, particularly as regards race.
