Why do the following American cultures (or subcultures) get conflated?

1.) Working class culture.

2.) Rural culture

3.) Southern culture

4.) "Redneck" culture.

5.) White American male culture.

These actually aren't referring to the same things, even if there is considerable overlap. It's impossible to generalize too much.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
