Hillbillies are the guys from Deliverance
Rednecks are the guys from King of the Hill

Seeing as I liked King of the Hill I guess they're ok with me. So long as they stay away from my smart asian daughter.

hillbillies live in the hills and are kind of self-sustaining and removed from society to a degree. Rednecks are southern farmers and other working class types, but these days the term is extended to include anyone from the south either as a mildly derogatory term or term of endearment (self-termed).

Not very, as they had a urban center of living for most of their existence (at least for the standards of the time). I am sure they had their country bumpkins though.
