   <<Is there no respect for cultural and racial diversity in the schools
   in your area? These students would be prohibited from wearing this
   shirt in my school and the class advisor who permitted its printing
   and distribution would be called on the carpet. If the assumption
   that this is acceptable in the school is universal, I think there is a
   much deeper problem than a group of linguists can solve. And it
   stinks out loud.>>

   I think the term "redneck" does not mean what it used to. The term is
   somewhat self-deprecatingly applied, and has become more the opposite
   of "city slicker." There may be no racial overtones.
