I have two or more yard cars and my name is Billy Ray. I have 10 kids but I live in a trailer. I am usually seen wearing a wife beater. I am white trash.

The equivalent to a nigger except only white. It means ACTING low class--being vulgar, ingnorant,and disrespectful.
Some people think white trash only exists in the country but it can exist anywhere: in the upper class, middle and even in the suburbs.

"Mary is taking and selling drugs," said Jason.
"Yeah, she's definitely white trash. She thinks just because she lives in the suburbs that she is better than those she calls niggers," said Karen.

white trash is a derogatory American English racial slur referring to poor white people, especially in the rural southern United States. The label signifies lower social class inside the white population and especially a degraded standard of living. The term has been adopted for people living on the fringes of the social order, who are seen as dangerous because they may be criminal, unpredictable, and without respect for authority whether it be political, legal, or moral.1 The term is usually a racial slur,2 but may also be used self-referentially by working class whites to jokingly describe their origins or lifestyle.3456
In common usage, "white trash" overlaps in meaning with "cracker" (regarding Georgia and Florida), "hillbilly" (regarding Appalachia), "Okie" (regarding Oklahoma origins), and "redneck" (regarding rural origins).11 The main difference is that "redneck", "cracker", "Okie", and "hillbilly" emphasize that a person is poor and uneducated and comes from the backwoods with little awareness of the modern world, while "white trash" emphasizes the person's moral failings.12

Use of "white trash" epithets has been extensively reported in African American culture.192021 Black authors have noted that blacks, when taunted by whites as "niggers", taunted back, calling them "white trash".20 Some black parents taught their children that poor whites were "white trash".22 The epithet appears in black folklore.23 As an example, slaves (when out of earshot of whites) would refer to harsh slave owners as a "low down" man, "lower than poor white trash", "a brute, really".24

Uneducated and slow witted people who lack social graces and proper hygene. When they come in the "Northern" variety they usually inhabit bleak industrial neighbourhoods of rust belt cities like Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Toledo, Youngstown, and Flint. A common denominater amongst many from this class is a lack of a high school diploma, resentment toward local law enforcement, bitter feuds with their neighbours, lack of self respect, a love of cigarette smoking, a proclivity toward alcohol and drug abuse, a beligerant attitude, a need to use foul language, and an absolut abhorance of soap or cleanliness of any kind. Sometimes these people will work menial jobs, particularly in the fast food industry for women, and low end unskilled mechanical or construction jobs for the men. More often than not though many are either out on State compensation for "bad backs" or some form of government welfare. Automobiles of choice are usually low-end domestic varieties of at least ten years of age. Quite often certain mechanical defects are apparent such as dragging mufflers, bashed in front-ends, dangling rear bumpers wired to the frame, and of course, rust, rust, and more rust. More often than not, many from this class have had their driving privledges revoked due to alcohol issues, so battered old bicycles are always in fashion. Indeed, in many of the high streets where such people predominate, one will often be reminded of Beishing, China because of so many middle-aged men tooling along the streets on bicycles. Mulletts, once popular with the white trash of the rust belt have now given way to buzz-cuts and goatees as so many middle class men and women are now sporting longer hair styles. Of course, the white tee shirt and K-Mart jeans are still considered haute coiture. WWF Wrestling is still a big draw for many of these people and many are also rabid NFL fans as they are sometimes some of the biggest supporters of their beloved "Bills," Browns," "Lions," and "Steelers." Their tastes in music usually runs along the line of heavy metal for the young and top 40 for the adults. "Southern" white trash are a completely different kettle of fish. Since so many of the previous writers dwelled exclusively on their habits, I won't go any further, but suffice it to say they are more rural in their backgrounds and their tastes.
A white trash Beavis and Butthead all grown up.

White Trash: a derogatory term and classist stereotype, which is used very broadly and mostly inaccurately used to describe rural, and/or poverty class individuals. (Favored mostly by the Bourgeois masses that watch too much TV.)
The ignorant suburbanite watched the bleach blonde in high heels and cut-off jeans walk down Bourbon Street in giddy awe of all the bright lights and people, and then turned to his friend and said "hey, how’s about that White Trash Hooker!”

we r honeslty rlly fucking chill peoplez with real good fucking personatility unlike you boring ass people who think ur so smart nd educated. Ian speaking for all white trash, buh we're not even that bad. Like jus let us smoke our pot and we'll leave u alone. Also its not true that we're missing teeth, we never shower, live off food stamps, welfare, mooch off of others, drop out of highschool, blow all our cash, always drinking and doing drugs like meth. I still go to school everyday, I work and make my own bread, I don't do hard drugs, just smoke a little bit of weed with my freind every now and then, and so what that I like rap music and listen to Kid Rock, swear all the time, wear a ton of makeup, waer small clothes and like Walmart. I ain't pissing anybody off or trying to start fights with people over bullshit. White trash ppl r sick nd the world needs more of them since there's so many boring squares around or fucking rich kids who think they the shit wehn they're not. Maybe being white trash is a good thing.
