I'm not painting all racists as retarded rednecks, just the ones wearing this particular button. They're the KKK-supporting, "white pride" t-shirt wearing, high school dropout type. To see that kind of racists in action, watch "Louis Theroux and the Nazis", a rather amusing documentary.

I do call all racists complete and utter morons, though. That's not a stereotype, however, but a judgment based on their own actions.

I've seen similar comments about Clinton supporters, calling them "hillbillies". Equally offensive.
And equally dumb.
