It's blatant snobbism. Words like 'redneck' and 'pikey' imply someone of a low class.
Redneck and pikey do indeed indicate that someone is low class. They are not racist terms though.

Freddie isn't a scrounger. He doesn't claim benefits. He doesn't get an allowance from his parents either. All of his spending money he earns himself, whether it be from face painting in a nightclub or one of his business ventures. He has also has had regular jobs, something that Lisa has not for a very long time.
