No, 'redneck' is not a racist term; people from the southern USA are not a different race.
For the benefit of the asker, I will expand on Nij's excellent answer by saying that although the term "redneck" is not considered racist in itself, it is normally seen as a degrading or disparaging word to describe a male of low intelligence and abnormally racist character, and usually from certain southern US states.

∙ 11y agoThere are those who consider the term "redneck" deragatory. This rednexk doesn't, this redneck believes it to be nothing more than recognition of one who lives close to his origins. It is important to remember your roots. The term "hick" is totally derogatory but is not directly related to redneckism. It refers to one who is perceived to be inurbane and uncomplicated to a fault. Neither term is particularly racist. A person from any race can be either or both a redneck or hick.
