Re: etymology of white trash, word history of phrase "white trash," dictionary white trash, thesaurus white trash, meaning of white trash
Greenberg: The phrase "white trash" originally meant a white person who procreates with a non-white person, but it recently has taken on a wider meaning.
The poet T.S. Eliot also considered "white trash" to be a white person who fornicates with a non-white.
