The term "redneck" is not limited to southerners anymore.
I think of the term as I would a certain flavor of cracker, such as saltines. Not all saltines come form the same place or brand, and they can taste slightly different depending on the brand. But there is a general flavor similarity to saltines so that you know what you are getting when you pick up some saltines, regardless of the brand name.
Sure, the saltine originated somewhere and has a history to it's origination and an original brand (Frank L. Sommers' St. Joseph baking company) but that's all but forgotten now as the saltine is basically just a style of cracker.
So that's how we should look at the term "redneck". It may have a historical context, but now it just refers to a style of cracker.
