you left out some key notations on your Dictionary.com reference for hillbilly..
1st - "( sometimes used facetiously )
2nd - 'the Usage Notes' .. " Hillbilly is often used with a disparaging intent and perceived as insulting implying that a person who lives far away from a town or city lacks culture or education"
so when Elaterate states Hillbilly is a race / ethnicity.. he gives the word hillbilly a definition applicable to a race of people. hence it became a racial reference.
then when the other un-named member stated hillbillies were "not pure and would hump anything". .. hillbilly became a slur..
those 2 statements combined together stated back to back in GC took the word hillbilly and turned it into a word that is describing a race of people in a derogatory manner..
thus turning Hillbilly into a racial slur...
maybe Elaterate didn't apply it to white people. pick a race of people.. it doesn't matter.. he applied Race to it.. combined with the slur of not being 'Pure'.. it got turned into a racial slur.. simple as that..

1) I've never called him or anyone in GC a Hillbilly (which he accused me of doing so in Global Chat)

The only purely white names I can think of are (as mentioned) Cracker....the classic Honkey, and the worst, White Trash.
Quit being a whiny beyotch (not color related.....lol) and play the game with honor.
