Trailer park trash is not an ethnic slur. To think that it is, you are inherently being racist since you are assuming that only white people live in trailer parks. What kind of PC freak decided it was an ethnic slur? I bet city people thought this up. By the way, city people is not an ethnic slur either. Give a few months and wikipedia will decide city people is an ethnic slur too.
- It's a slur, but it's a classist slur, rather than an ethnic slur.--RLent 19:58, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trailer living
I've trimmed this article's information about how wonderful it is to live in a mobile home. It doesn't seem particularly cogent to the discussion of the origin of the term. --ESP 30 June 2005 17:23 (UTC)
[edit] Merge?
Is there any real difference between this and poor white trash? —BenFrantzDale 23:03, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Require lots of space?
It seems odd to say that trailer parks require large amounts of space, since they're a more dense type of housing than most types of suburban or rural housing. So I'm changing this to something that makes more sense to me. Please modify if anyone thinks it could be clearer. --Allen 05:23, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Am I the only person?
Am I the only person that thinks that articles on slangwords that are commonly known are useless? This should be deleted. --Shell 04:52, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
→ It really depends on who's reading it. An immigrant to the U.S. who heard the word in conversation might find it very informative to be able to look it up on Wikipedia. BAW 22:17, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] white only?
To suggest that trailer trash can only be white seems racist to me. Why should that be? --Rebroad 22:21, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
It probably shouldn't be. On the other hand, that's just the stereotype. On the other hand (I have three), changing the definition of an insult to include a wider target doesn't help things much.
[edit] Tornado bait
Isnt this term used with Trailer Trash as well? --Halaqah 23:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How about some references?
Comeon, this is borderline uncyclopedia grade stuff "Park managers, usually portly women, usually reside in the parks' finest double-wide coaches and have their wheels sunk into the earth for a more finished style and may even have their banisters upgraded from the standard metal to real oak wood."?? . --82.83.191.196 21:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
