Poor white result of excess sunbaking perhaps (7)
I believe the answer is:
redneck
'poor white' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for redneck that I've seen before include "Poor white called this" , "S. US working-class white conservative (derog.)" , "Intolerant American" , "Ignorant bigot" , "Poor white American" .)
