From Wiki:

White trash is an American English pejorative term referring to individual or groups of lower social class caucasians that the speaker considers to lack cultural capital. It is most frequently used as a slur to describe financially and economically disadvantaged caucasians. However, it may also be used self-referentially by white north Americans with higher socioeconomic status to jokingly describe limitations they sense in their culture. As well as its use as a pejorative, it may also be used self-referentially by groups of disadvantaged white Americans to express group solidarity. While the expression "white trash" is commonly used in American popular culture , many feel the term is racist, as it suggests that other races may automatically be thought of as trash, and is often used to perpetuate popular stereotypes against "financially disadvantaged" white Americans.WHITE TRASH should be differentiated from the term redneck, as each has a unique historical etymology and context in modern usage!
