“Its Time to Stop the ‘Redneck’ Slurs” by Danny Glover
1. What negative term does Glover use to describe the word “redneck”?
2. How, according to Glover, do some writers from other regions use the word “redneck” inappropriately?
3. What kind of bias does the college student’s essay describe?
4. Do you agree that “For whatever reason, it remains perfectly acceptable to insult a large swath of the U.S. population—the common folk who live in ‘flyover country’—as ‘bitter’ or ‘racist’ or ‘redneck’”? Have you ever encountered this kind of bias? Write two or three sentences on your thoughts and feelings about his idea.
