Redneck joke

A redneck joke is a joke about rednecks — working-class, rural or southern white Americans.^[1] For example,^[2]

A genie comes upon an African-American, a Jew and a redneck. He grants each a wish. The African-American wishes that his people be returned to Africa; the Jew that his people be returned to Israel. Once the redneck realises that all the blacks and Jews have left America, he wishes for a beer.

Jeff Foxworthy is a comedian that specializes in telling redneck jokes.^[3] For example:

"If you've ever cut your grass and found a car, you might be a redneck."
"If you've ever been too drunk to fish, you might be a redneck."
"If you've ever made change in the offering plate...guilty...you might be a redneck."
