I saw a lot of “redneck” emblazoned things for sale at the fair. Redneck belt buckles and lighters and beer coolers and tshirts. I can’t really recall Minnesotans being terribly comfortable with the term, since 60% are urban dwelling, but since redneck seems to have shifted more towards “country” than “racist”, it seems to be popping up more and more up north.
