No, 'redneck' is not a racist term; people from the southern USA are not a different race. For the benefit of the asker, I will expand on Nij's excellent answer by saying that although the term "redneck" is not considered racist in itself, it is normally seen as a degrading or disparaging word to describe a male of low intelligence and abnormally racist character, and usually from certain southern US states.

What do you have to do to be a redneck?

The term redneck originally just meant a farmer, whose neck got sunburned because he was out in the sun all day working in the field. Nowadays, a redneck means an ignorant person, usually from the Southern US. A redneck is believed to be someone who owns a pickup truck, has hunting dogs, owns several rifles (which are stored in a rack in the truck), drinks a lot of cheap beer, and does stupid things. The joke goes like this: What was the last thing the redneck said? "Hey y'all, watch this!"
