Best Answer
I grew up in a trailer park. Some people thought my family was trashy because of that. But, my parents worked hard, and they made our trailer a home. It was clean, and the yard was well kept. It was what they could afford, and they were as proud of it as they would have been of a mansion on a hill.

People are people. They can be trashy or respectable. It has nothing to do with where they live.

Disagree. People can live in the riches and best neighborhoods in the world and be trash. Then people living in the worst and poorest can be decent. It's all about how the view themselves and who they want to be in the human race. White, black, red, or yellow, color is not the issue.

I disagree, but i would not call anyone white trash. I think that is a horrible way to classify a human being

totally disagree. The first girl I dated lived in a trailer park, and she is one of the most caring and intelligent people I know.

I suppose you really need to define "White Trash" first.
Honestly trash can be found all over. I grew up for several years with a lot of money, thatns to my parents' hard work. We had a beautiful home in nice neighborhood. i had pretty much anything I wanted. It was great. Nextdoor we had a neighbor who had so much crap piled inher back yard from old mattresses to clothes lines, that she actually had a rat problem. Nobody had a rat problem where we lived..nobody. This woman was mean too. She used to lean over our fence and swing a stick at our little dog. Then she'd complain that he barked at her! She was a nightmare. I think trash is not limited to trailer parks and trailer parks are not exclusive to white trash.

Full, no, but they do tend to congregate in them. The reason is because trailer park living is a fairly stupid act in most cases.

The "house" is on land you don't own (in most cases, not all) and this "house" depreciates at a very quick pace. Thus, a $50,000 nice trailer today is a $10,000 piece of junk in a couple of years.

No matter how nice they start out trailers inevitably get a dingy quality to them over a short time. They are not as sturdy as a brick and mortar home. They just fall apart for some reason.

Granted, not everyone can afford a 12 room house in a nice suburb (I sure can't) but before going to the trailer park think of any, and I mean any, option.

The demographics of a trailer park is usually a little off as well. Seems like there are far too many retired securty guards and people on disability. I mean, how many trailer parks are home to large groups of teachers or doctoral candidates in mathematics?

Nope, they are not necessarily trashy, but they do attract trash.

I disagree; completly... anyone could live anywhere... its the same thing that some people taht if your black you a good basketball or if you dominican you a good baseball player... lies, you could be whatever and do whatever you want. ive read about a japanese person living in a trailer... that isnt white trasg... and the word white trash doenst exsist, it doenst matter your color... the only thing taht matters is your soul.

There are trailer parks full of trashy people, but their are also those trashy people in the burbs. Neighborhood community groups are a good thing to have regardless of where you live so that you can fine your residents for messed up yards or trashy living. But trash is trash, if you can't keep a clean lifestyle you end of in the parks. They are already the bottom of the barrel, just above living in a cheap hotel.

Who are these people who say that trailer parks are full of white trash?

I disagree

Trailer Parks serve their purpose by giving people dignity and the means to live in a home they can call their own.

Agree.

But that doesn't mean that many other places aren't full of white trash too. White trash can be found just about anywhere.

I know many people that live in trailer parks and I wouldn't say they were white trash. They are very nice, repectable people. That's an old myth. I'm sure there are many that are. I see them on TV.

I've known people who lived in mansions, penthouses, cottages, track houses, shacks, cabins, condos, apartments, trailer parks and slums. There are good decent people everywhere and bad mean people everywhere too. The bad mean people are the minority.
They get more attention---good decent people get very little attention. None of the people are "Trash" White or any other Color.

I disagree. Like other (perhaps) low income housing units, bad people may come from the, but they are the exception not the rule. Bad people, trailer trash, ghetto trash, suburb trash, come from everywhere.
