What's the difference between a hillbilly, a redneck and a good ol' boy?

@izzythepush,

It doesn't even make you think of the theme from The Dukes Of Hazzard?:

@JGoldman10,

I didn’t really watch it, I think it clashed with something else.

@izzythepush,

I have seen The Three Caballeros. If anything that movie made Donald Duck's Latin bird friends José Carioca and Panchito look like a bunch of sadistic, womanizing lechers.

The movie is supposed to be a kids'/family movie.

I think you and I have seen two very different movies, or have very different definitions of the word "sadistic".

I saw the film, and the related film Saludos Amigos, fairly recently, and both of them did not meet your description. They are indeed family films.

@Rebelofnj,

I remember in The Three Cabelleros José and Panchito did a lot of off-the-wall, mean-spirited things to Donald.

That's what I meant by "sadistic".

I don't remember the cartoon short too well.

That’s not sadistic.

@izzythepush,

What do you call it? They derived pleasure in doing things to hurt Donald.

Practical joking.

Lol. I didn't know that was a stereotype. I know the French were stereotyped as being big Jerry Lewis fans.

Besides being smelly the French are stereotyped as being amorous.

You can blame that on Maurice Chevalier.

Anyway, getting back on topic and on a related note, I was going to start a new thread asking what's the difference between a farm girl and a farmer's daughter but apparently they are the same thing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmer%27s_daughter :

"The farmer's daughter or farm girl is a term for a stock character and stereotype in fiction for the daughter of a farmer, who is often portrayed as a desirable and naïve young woman. She is described as being an 'open-air type' and 'public-spirited', who will tend to marry a hero and settle down."

@izzythepush,

Well now I understand why WB decided to create a cartoon skunk and make him French and have him act the way he does.

According to https://www.talkinfrench.com/common-myths-french-men/

French men stinking and French men being amorous are on the list.

Also, isn't there an overlap between the terms "hillbilly", "redneck" and "good ol' boy"?

I noticed this thread has been derailed somewhat. I would like to stay on-topic please.

The crows from the original Dumbo movie were meant to be African American caricatures but I can see why people think these characters were racist.
It's obvious why Song of the South is not ever going to be released on DVD and/or Blue Ray.

Correction - Song of the South IS available on DVD, according to this:

There are other sites that list the DVD as a sales item and/or an auction item.

The fact the movie isn't going to be shown on Disney+ ISN'T going to stop people from watching it and obtaining copies of it as pointed out here:
