White Trash

White trash was originally used as a term of contempt for White people, particularly poor Confederates or Southerners, who were considered less racially pure than Yankees. This was due to the fact that poor White people most likely did and do jobs that non White people do, but was also due to the fact that many poor White people cannot trace their heritage back to a particular European country, and also tend to live in a way that is usually ascribed to Black people, or Indians. Any White culture that does not follow traditional Yankee ways is considered of less value, and calling someone White trash is not considered racist, because of the lie that people cannot be racist against other ethnic groups of their same race. The term White Trash is almost always used by Yankee people; Black people tend to prefer the term Cracker, Hispanic people use the word Wedo, and rich Southerners use the less offensive term Hillbilly. White trash people are almost always poor, they drive older cars, live in trailers and low end apartments with members of their extended family, tend to listen to rap music, and in many cases, have children with other races who are poor as well.
