But the fact is, Foxworthy can use "redneck" on TV because a large majority of the population find it acceptable. Right or wrong, it's an observable fact.
You would never, on the other hand, have a mainstream network comedian base on act on "You might be a N if . . . "
Because the two terms carry very different weight in America.
I really can't believe people would fight that very simple and easy factual observation.
