Poor white trash

Poor white trash is a derogatory phrase used to describe an individual or group of individuals of certain racial, economic and cultural status. The phrase is used is primarily in the United States and is applied to members of the Caucasian race who purposely engage in a lifestyle below their station. Ofttimes, members of such a group may referred to as rednecks, depending upon geography. People described as poor white trash usually hail from a labor-class and live in an economically depressed environment such as a tract home or a trailer park.. Behavior of those who are inclusive to the poor white social strata may range from drug abuse, alcohol consumption, criminal activity, abuse of family members, etc. This is not to suggest that all members of a low-income home engage in such behavior, but is illustrative of a stereotype against those who fall under the category of "poor white trash".
