Moon Pies and Bumper Stickers

Nothing drives me more nuts, then kids saying they are dressing up as "a redneck, or a hillbilly" for Halloween. Those are not costumes, they are people with stereotypes. People think that every one who is classified as "a redneck" is just like Larry the Cable Guy. Not everyone from the South is "a redneck". And not every "redneck", does the same things as Larry. Just because you are called "a redneck", does not mean you eat moon pies, wear lots of plaid, go fishing alot, have a rusty truck with bumper stickers, and wear a hat with a fish hook on it. Also people that do, do those things just because  they do them does not make them "rednecks". Moon pies are delicious, plaid is a nice pattern, fishing is tons of fun, rusty trucks have history, bumper stickers are amazing, and who doesn't love hats, then fish hooks are sexy. I love Halloween, everyone knows I do. You can be whatever or whoever you want, just make sure it is a costume not a stereotype about a large group of people. Be a object, character, celebrity, or animal, not a stereotype. Another post from the brain of Jayy, good-bye America (even though I live in Canada).
