white trash

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

cammy white

one of the hot bitches from street fighter introduced in Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers as one of the four new challengers and the second female character as well as the most prominent of the four. Cammy used to be a Shadaloo doll for M Bison but managed to escape from M Bison’s control and nearly got herself blown up if it was not for Vega rescuing her and bringing her to Delta Red, but still hates Vega for some reason. She apparently likes forcefulness in a man
