You are generalizing and stereotyping. Not all people who live in trailers are trash, it's often due to economic reasons and the system has failed them. Your comment comes across as classist.

Trailer trash and those living in trailers are a venn diagram, but are not the exact same.

Not everyone who lives in a trailer is trailer trash, but it is a prerequisite for that label. It's just a particular brand of drama and shitty lifestyle

There are normal ass trailer parks where it's mostly folks getting by like anyone else. Then there are trailer trash trailer parks with lots of disastrous people making the stereotype come to life.

You’re right. She’s white trash.

I lived in a trailer park for years while saving up to buy land and can identify the two kinds of trailer park inhabitants at a glance:

  • those who know they are there temporarily
  • those who know they are there permanently

These two groups rarely interact with each other.
