What is wrong with German people?
Nothing... or rather, the same thing that is wrong with all the rest of us. We're imperfect. Guess we'll have to work on it.
Why are black people called Uncle Tom?
Uncle Tom is used as a pejorative label to imply that an African-American person is excessively submissive to whites, or that the AfAm is attempting to gain favor with whites by making needless accommodations.

What are the consequences of discrimination on a society between prejudice and discrimination?
Discrimination is the valuable and necessary determining and acting on the real differences among people. We necessarily discriminate between the skillful and the unskilled, between the honest and the dishonest, between the energetic and the lazy.
Prejudice is acting on differences among people without determining that they actually exist. To PRE-judge, means deciding to treat people differently BEFORE determining that they are actually different, merely assuming they are different.
Redneck is a cultural term. It is sometimes used to be disparaging, but is also a lifestyle that some embrace and are proud of. It generally described lower to mid-income working class white people from rural areas. Some people might describe a redneck guy as a country boy with a little more beer and mud.
Some stereotypes associated with "rednecks" are Ford and Chevy pickup trucks, Old Milwaukee and Budweiser beer, work boots, hunting and fishing, mudding, Confederate flags, and line dancing.
An Asian redneck would simply be an Asian that has embraced this lifestyle.

What is an example of de facto discrimination?
- The "glass ceiling" scenario in which minorities find it difficult to rise to prominent positions due to discrimination.
- The discrimination African-Americans still faced, even after the Reconstruction amendments and repeal of the Jim Crow laws.
- Sunnis are driven out of their homes by Shiites in Iraq.
Note that all of these examples are instances of discrimination that are not backed by laws. "De juris" discrimination would be the segregation of schools in the United States, before Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, for example; it is discrimination written into the text of the law.
It is much more difficult to fix de facto discrimination than it is to fix de juris discrimination. The latter can be changed with a revised law. The former requires more intensive effort. De facto discrimination is why there are affirmative action programs in the United States, and scholarships just for minority groups.

Why do people call southerners rednecks?
The expression redneck refers to the poor white farmers of the south who made a living working the land themselves. The red neck was the result of the position a person worked in while exposed to the sun. These people were poor and uneducated and were looked down upon in the south being described as white trash. (That is very much the same contempt that people have for trailer trash today). So when it came to a name calling opportunity between north and south, the expression redneck was an insult that was easily understood by any southerner. Redneck is meant to mean poor and uneducated.
Was World War 2 a turning point in civil rights?

It would be discrimination against an economic class. Unfortunately from what I can tell it is perfectly legal to discriminate against economic class and there is little that you can do about it.
