Its like complaining that people think you are a New Yorker because you are from New York.
Actually, according to dictionary.com, the definition of redneck is:

1. Used as a disparaging term for a member of the white rural laboring class, especially in the southern United States.
2. A white person regarded as having a provincial, conservative, often bigoted attitude.

Especially under definition number two, where one is from does not determine whether one is a redneck. There can be rednecks living in a big city. It's not the same thing as being called a New Yorker or a Chicagoan or anything like that. By your reasoning, I would be a redneck. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! I don't think they'd want to have me!
