no worries
Yes, sorry, I was more annoyed about the original post and question which loads a lot of baggage on to Zoe. The term "redneck" is probably as offensive as "cracker" (of the whip) or "nigger" in some parts of the world. More care should be taken with slurs that can only be applied to White people, including "bogan".
Uh, I asked an open question. There was no implied bigotry on my part, indeed I was questioning my memory concerning Zoe's views and whether in fact she was a bigot. There's a difference. A rather big difference in fact. Nor am I stereotyping Zoe. If you read my post properly you'll see that I think she has comes across as a sweetie. However I do disagree wholeheartedly with her views about what many Australians and indeed what the Aussie media calls "boat people", and what I call refugees.
