To put more of a spin on this, I've always thought Redneck was a sub class of White Trash and Hillbilly is a subclass of Redneck.
So if you are a hillbilly, you are a redneck and white trash.
You can be a redneck and not be a hillbilly, but you are white trash.
You can be white trash without being either of the two.

Straight up ... always thought "redneck" was simply a dude with a sunburned neck. So he worked outside - construction.
The idea that being called a "redneck" has never been a slur to me, or where I came from. White folks call each other "rednecks" all the time where I'm from. Farmers are rednecks.
You can work hard and not be a redneck, if you have a factory job, I guess.

Hillbilly and redneck are two different things. There may be some overlap, but they’re two different groups of people. Think of the difference between East TN/East KY and Middle Georgia.

All three are distinct and different. We definitely have our share of all 3 here in Kentucky.

So much fail, do they teach history anymore?
Rednecks originated in West Virginia in the Coal Wars between the local miners and the carpetbagging Yankee overlords. They got way past throwing knucks at the local Sonic as I think the mine owners hired the Pinkerton's to fight for them and it went to a shooting affair. I think it got so bad machine guns were used and the government had to step in and send troops.
One of the primary battlefields was a rough mountain with lots of foliage. The locals resorted to wearing red bandanas on their necks to distinguish them from the hired goons.
Redneck = WV miner
Hillbilly = WV local
White Trash = Jessco White and his kin now living in WV
