Perhaps L Glea thinks their positions are just plain wrong!  
Funny how you are using the term "redneck" with it negative racist overtones, it is pretty hard to win an argument if your only position depends on pejoratives.. 
BTW, there is nothing wrong with being proud of European heritage and nothing wrong with assimilating into it if that is what people choose to do.  European culture gave us democracy, individual rights and the right to disagree without threat of government repercussions.  These were hard fought for rights that many have tried to thwart, including some Europeans.  But those rights exist because we made them exist.
And you should also know that assimilation and integration are two entirely different things.
