Plenty of white trash types in my area resemble that remark too.
It used to be trash was trash and skin color was irrelevant - actually, still is irrelevant, because it’s the culture that matters, not the color.
In the past, people of all shades of skintone would look down on those who chose to act trashy, shiftless, and criminal.
Now there’s a whole political party that depends on the trashy, shiftless, and criminal for its continued existence.
