It is a social class label that originated from the poor whites in the West Virginia, Northern/Eastern Kentucky, Southern Ohio and southwestern Pennsylvania areas.
Many have a very similar lifestyles to each other and many were raised in that type of environment, never traveled anywhere nor lived anywhere but in that type of community.
That lifestyle consist of the following
Watching NASCAR events on TV
Leisure Shopping at Walmart
Fixing up older vehicles in their yard
Listen to old Rock songs such as Lynard Skynard, The Eagles, CCR and Bob Segar.
Talk about how the world is going to hell because of a large number of social issues that are on the news
They feel that they are a "victim" of others including the government, "outsiders" such as minorities and upper income people.
Deep down, they feel that many look down on this culture so they lash out in frustration to justify their existence.
Many do NOT have any type of formal education beyond high school.
A premier occupation to these people are usually Union jobs in the North, and factory jobs in the south where a relative assisted them on entry of the job.
(This is EXTREMELY common and I have seen this first hand, even with jobs in the Government sector where they were not qualified for the job in any capacity)
Many of them have friends of other races but they have deeply ingrained racists views on minorities.
They view most blacks as "ghetto" and the blacks who appear educated as "uppity".

originally used to Describe poor white people , this phrase has evolved to describe vulgarity in lifestyle and priorities irrespective of economic status.today's white thrash may be "educated"in the sense that they attended college but are ignorant about the world,politics or history,Don't read,have no table manners and think Las Vegas is a classy vacation destination.They need to impress by wearing "brand names",paying money for the privilege of advertising clothing or accessories which they believe are "classy".They lease cars that take up the 30% of their income left over after their mortgage or rent (at least 50%) ,max out their credit cards and make minimum monthly payments,often falling behind on their debt.Saving money is a low priority and "if you can make the payments you can afford it"is the motto.They are unaware or not interested in global issues but know detailed sports statistics (men) and all the gossip aBout so called celebrities (women).Most think David Copperfield is a magician,nEver having heard of the book.Their children are usually their friends, growing up with no boundaries or discipline.Spelling and grammar are typically optional extras for the whole family.
they are such white trash

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.

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."
aww look at the white trash....
