To me white trash is a horrible horrible phrase. And not from a race point
of view - couldn't give a hoot about that - but from a "class" point of
view. In Australia we call poor people "battlers", and we try and help
them.
Even the phrase "White trash" to me, says a lot about America. What do
Americans think about it?


Oh bull - as an Aussie (now living in the USA) I heard the term "white
trash" used many many times over the years in Australia. Far more often than
"battlers".
