Confinado (en cuello-blanco)

White Trash

Profundizando con una compañera sobre las relaciones sentimentales interraciales {lo que Huntington no nos explicó}, le salió de rebote la absurda idea de que toda mujer blanca que 'ande' con un hombre afroamericano, debería ser tachada como white trash. Tras un acercamiento curioso a las posibles acepciones de este término en Wikipedia, os comparto los siguientes síntomas inequívocos de la condición social tan pero tan peyorativa:

• Poor hygiene.
• Unkempt property, with junk in their yards.
• Ignorance, and general lack of education.
• Unstylish.
• Clannish, particularly evidenced by racist attitudes.
• Laziness and lack of ambition.
• Unstable families.
• Sexual promiscuity, teen pregnancy, illegitimate children, and incest.
• Self-centeredness.
• Unusually strong penchants for violence.
• Poor diet, poor health or obesity.
• Crooked, discolored, or missing teeth.
• Unruly behavior in public, including drunkenness and brawling.
• Poverty - particularly dwelling in trailers, or mobile homes.
• Residing in rural or small town environments.
• Speaking with a drawl or an accent.
• Ownership of dogs that are overly aggressive due to poor raising.
• Musical tastes limited to country and western and Heavy Metal.
• Wearing the mullet hairstyle.
• Wearing a type of undershirt called a wife-beater (males).
• Driving an older model domestic pickup truck or sports coupe like the Camaro.
• Having jobs that consist of some type of physical or menial labor.
• Excessive television viewing, especially of televised wrestling and NASCAR.
• Barbecues and cook-outs.
• Attendance at tractor pulls.
• Excessive tobacco use (including dip, snuff and chew).
• Excessive alcohol consumption, especially cheap domestic beer.
• An interest in demolition derbies.
