How to be a redneck


I was strolling in Wal-Mart and I saw this game. It wasn't on sale: it had a pretty hefty price of around $25. Or $30.


It's intended for audiences 16+.

I completely get why it's for older players, but do we really need to reinforce the stereotypes? Questions in the game include:

You might be a Redneck if... you wash your car more often than you wash your _____.
1. hair
2. kids
3. clothes

You might be a Redneck if... your mother doesn't put on _____ to go grocery shopping.
1. makeup
2. shoes
3. a bra


I get that they're jokes, but even racial jokes do sting. And the thing is, some people might find these jokes funny because they think it's true, and that shows us what type of society we live in. It's a bit sad that even in a multicultural setting like Toronto we would see these types of games. There's pretty much no difference if we call this a game teaching people how to racially profile each other.
