PING!
Black Conservative Ping?
Do we have a white trailer trash ping list? ;)
lmao! Big hair too!
I spent thirty years working in Hollywood. I counted it as a rare year when I didn't get told I'd never work again at least once. Funny thing is, though, I kept working. If they need what you have, all is forgiven. It's that simple.
Black folks and Jews don't matter to Hollywood (especially Jews). Gibson and Richards are just lucky they didn't bad mouth gays. Then their careers would be over. The left in my opinion have no moral highground from where to address any type of slurr. They kiss the feet of dictators and throw in alliegence (if only rhetorical) with those who oppress and advocate the destruction of Israel.
Yet, the left keeps framing the debate...

I have a daughter-in-law who more than qualifies as white trash.
I hope my son one day wakes up.
"Jews don't matter to Hollywood"
Which is ironic...
"White Trash" are a complex mix of both genetics and cultural upbringing.
To start with, genetically, the largest part are Scots-Irish and English, mixed with German and Native American. In Louisiana and environs, there is a healthy dollop of French. And in the border States, some recent Mexican. Other interbreeding is much less common. As diverse as it sounds, it is actually fairly heterogeneous, as WT tend to breed with other WT.
Cultural upbringing is a lot more complex, but as a rule, education is downplayed and reproduction is done starting very young. Low self-esteem is less a problem than low expectations. There is also low prosperity consciousness, and money or goods beyond that point are usually wasted.
WTs are actually uncomfortable out of their environment. They cannot enjoy themselves as much living in suburbia or the city as in a trailer park, because it is just not their motif. Trailer parks are less an expression of economy than community, and today, many are as expensive as brick and wood houses. They also feel strong "tribal" instincts, (their word, not mine), and prefer to associate with their own kind.
There is actually a lot to appreciate in their lifestyle, but in a way their life has more freedom, if lowered expectations.
Don't know but this big thighed cow should be number 1 on it.
That's what you call moneyed white trash.
Interesting. I will say I have yet to meet a "WT" as you call them, with Italian or Nordic ancestry.
White Trash is the last socially acceptable racist slur. Of course calling someone that would not be accepted either and would probably result in a bloody fight.
My family, friends and I have never used the n-word. It was never used at any job I ever had and white people never used it when no blacks were around. I had no idea everyone else in America was sneaking around saying the n-word every chance they got. I'm so naive.
