Don't you think it has something to do with context?

For example:
You walk down the street and two guys you know yell "hey red neck, where you going" versus two black guys you don't know doing the same thing.

Isn't your reaction going to be differrent in those two cases?

I mean, obviously your friends are joking, but it's probably not a joke if you don't even know the black guys.
