Can Canadians be rednecks? According to R Duray they can be US federal agents, I guess. Well, why not.

A bigger question - how come redneck and nigger aren't offensive names on this thread while Eurotrash is?

Here's is X's post excoriating offensive names:

Calling ANY group trash (or any other offensive name) is not acceptable to the originator of this thread

Yet it seems some offensive names are perfectly acceptable:

Imagine calling an African-American nigger, repeatedly, despite him saying he does not appreciate it. AND that is a case where the term is actually correct for the context, while Eurotrash is certainly not, since the people it designates are rich and highly educated people with a taste for the fast nightlife.
