Unlike d!ckhead or pr!ck, redneck has a specific group of people it is referring to. Just like if the Queen was against gay marriage would you refer to her as a redneck? No, because it wouldn't apply. The term "redneck" doesn't refer to 1 particular individuals behaviour at all.

It's like saying the term yankee refers to a particular type of American. It doesn't, it refers to an American in general.
