Who is urban white trash?Where do they live and what ethnic groups are they usually?I have never really heard of urban white trash neighborhoods.

Go to any major U.S. metro area. The surrounding five to ten miles is usually white trash save for small areas of wealthy non-commuters. Anyone who's become white trash from the suburban middle class would also fall under this "urban" white trash label, even though they might be from a surrounding suburbia.

I'm talking about the difference between rural hicks who drive around in trucks and chew tobacco and go to bars or just drink in open out in the country by a river as they have for generations compared to urban/suburbanite trash that use oxy, inject, are more ghetto, and adopt more urban (meaning more non white in this context though not in negative way) types of hobbies such as baggy pants, emphasis on "welfare" instead of acknowledging their own choice in their lifestyles of abuse such as the more hick-country types have. That's all I meant. The two groups basic activities are the same. Drugs, alcohol abuse, broken family, inability to rationalize other classes thought processes. One is more traditional and traditionally disenfranchised, the other more baseless and material based and prone to demand the other classes "stop being mean and help them" whereas the hick types essentially accept their lifestyle and see it as valid and reject ideals of welfare.
