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.
Example One
Yankee: I hate Tennessee- everyone here is White trash- they all live in trailers and drive big trucks!
Example Two
Supervisor on a job site: So you pick up trash?
White worker: Yeah, man, I work for the temp service!
Supervisor on a job site: You must be White Trash!
Example Three
Daughter: Daddy, I met a great guy!
Father: What does he do for a living?
Daughter: He cuts lawns!
Father: Is he Mexican?
Daughter: No, he's from Georgia!
Father: Oh, so he's White trash!
Example Four
Liberal Politician: Only Black people go to prison!
White person: That's not true, I went to prison!
Liberal Politician: That's because you are White trash! Racist!

An American individual that refuses to be humble despite their own poor economic and educational condition. They might also refuse to be humble and understanding of less developed countries/races/brains.

They LOVE to brag about shit that people of their same race have done, but with all the ignorance they usually have, the farthest they can ever aspire to be is a NASCAR driver if they are lucky enough to have white trash parents who won the lottery
An example of white trash being ignorant might be the way in which they disregard all the good other races and countries have brought to the making of their wonderful country in which they take no positive part of.

The majority of the people you see shopping in or working at your local wal mart store.
I ran out of soap and at 3am the only place to get it was at Wal-Mart which is 24 hours. I was subject to all the white trash in there.

Is from "Downriver" Michigan. Everyones loved one sleeps with someone else, leather jackets are a must. wife beaters/tank tops are not seen as wrong (probably worn out to dinner). Jean shorts keep them cool in the summer and are worn when they swim in the river. Downriver white trash have family dinners at hooters, talk about porn with their parents and lose their virginity in high school to someone over the age of 25.
Son: "Mom, dad, can we go out to that fancy dinner place again, hooters?"
Dad: "sure son, let me call my other girlfriend over so we can get some good pictures first, quick go put on a tank top/wife beater/sleeveless shirt and some jean shorts"
Son: "Gee dad you are the best, I'll grab your good flannel shirt and mom's leather pants while im up there."
