Why is Halloween a white trash holiday?...I know, I know....going door to door asking for free handouts.
I think you are totally wrong.
Halloween is for kids. A much greater percentage of houses in poorer neighborhoods have kids, therefore more holiday crap.
Rich neighborhoods, not so much kids.
That’s a pretty harsh generalization!
So, if I’m poor and white and have a Halloween decoration outside my home...then I’m “white trash.”
I’m not white trash.
I work in “rich, white” neighborhoods, and believe me, there are just as many Halloween decorations there as anywhere else I go—maybe they’re just a bit more expensive decorations, though.
After New Years, Halloween is the second most alcohol fueled holiday. It has gradually reached that status slowly over the years. A good night to stay home and not be driving, IOW.
