I saw Miami Vice this weekend,and was struck by a certain irony. No movie studio in their right mind would put any African american stereotypes in any movie,but Miami Vice was loaded with stereotypes about "rednecks".Meth labs in the kitchen,guys covered in Nazi tatoos,gun racks on the wall etc. Is there a double standard in Hollywood? What stereotypes about rednecks does Hollywood perpetuate?

A Meth Lab in every trailer.
One or more cars up on blocks.
Rednecks in head to toe tatoos.
Redneck women who look 25 years older than their actual age.
All redneck men have served time in jail or prison.
All white southern men are into "White Power"/Naziism.
All rednecks have at least one album,8-track,CD,or cassette of Lynard Skynard or Hank Williams.
All rednecks have never seen a dentist.
All rednecks love Nascar,Professional Wrestling,and Bass Fishing.
All rednecks have a B name.Billy,Bobby,Bubba,Beuford,etc.
All rednecks have sex with their siblings and cousins
All rednecks are Fundamentalist Christians
All rednecks sport the mullet hairstyle.
All rednecks own/operate a still

Hollywood does perpetuate those sterotypes, but there are other sterotypes, like sterotypes against Arabs that have been perpetuated in movies again and again. Also, Arabs apparently perpetuate sterotypes about Westerners in their movies too.

I once went to visit family in Jersey, and a cousin of mine asked me "How much 'shine do you roll out a year?" Stereotypes are easy to toss around. Thinking's apparently the hard thing to do.

A southern white isn't necessarily a redneck, so you espoused the first bias that they espouse.

That is probably the worst. If you are a southern white male you are a redneck. So that makes Algore, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Sam Nunn, and many others rednecks.

Secondly, and it goes along with redneck label, is that the southern white male is racist.

Well...there's *some* truth to some of them.The problem is that Hollywood and the media in general shamelessly push it to extremes.It's also very ironic that the Hollywood elite are pushing stereotypes as past slave owners and inbreds onto southerners/country folk exclusivley.That's just plain racist propaganda.
