Oklahoma City, Tulsa in Top Ten Redneck Cities

[TedKennedy]

I think they need to remove graduation rate from the equation. Oklahoma has a higher graduation rate than decidedly non-red neck places like California, New York, Washington, Delaware, and Hawaii. I think that skews the results and could be causing us not to be ranked as highly as we should be.

There must be a common denominator in all those areas of low graduation. Any ideas?

The term redneck nowadays has a completely different meaning than what it originally stands for.

Sounds like the author was following some stereotypes

True that. Nowadays "redneck" just means someone who doesn't agree with the current administration and\or the media.

Here's how the author selected his top cities:



If you fit all of these categories, "you might be a redneck."

Knowing that we are near the top in those things just makes me think we should try harder. WE CAN BE NUMBER 1!!!!

I'm kind of burned out on the whole redneck thing.
