Reply #42: Bashing low income workers irritates me to no end.

[JanMichael]

My grandmother, who died at the age of 68 in 1988, worked as a waitress for almost her entire life. White Trash? No. My sharecropper grandfather dies, left her with two children in 1958, and she did what she had to do to keep food on the table.

Was she a farm girl from a dirt poor SW Missouri family? Yes. But what choice did she have in that?

As to you question? Yes, I wouldn't doubt that a few (not that many, just a few) DU'ers would call low income workers White Trash simply because they're low income. It's the American way apparently. Few however would do it in person.
