In my home town we have a lot of "white trash". I hope that's not too offensive to anyone, but we have a section of town that is even worst than the rest. This is where the hookers, junkies, crackheads, meth addicts...etc hang out. In general we call ourselves desert rats but there are some folks who are just hood rats. I notice a BIG difference going into the Wal-Mart at home and the ones down here at school. At home I'd be afraid to take a kid in there with out having to explain the birds and the bees to them.
I think some people are affected by economic hardships, but there are some people (both men and women) who dress in a way that makes others look down on them. Hence why there are shows like "What Not To Wear". I watch that show, and people on there just say..."whats wrong with the way I dress?" Some people don't know, others don't care, and some just don't have a choice. To each his own, its what makes the world go 'round, right?
