PC or redneck...bit of a contradiction? The US market is sadly riven by racism, at least among a lot of fans. Interracial is a real category all right,it is driven by the concept that it's like it's still taboo to have sex with someone from a different race. A great number of people are still too racially aware over there, by that I mean they are too conscious of race and the supposed differences between them.
I mentioned the term as part of a playful attempt to needle certain elements (no one in this thread as it happens) about the underlying politics behind their censorious posts to the forum - apologies if anyone took that the wrong way.
