If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it must be a duck. My favorite part is : "We are not white trash. That’s what everyone is saying about us, but we’re not." if EVERYONE says it, odds are it is probably true.

To be fair, in many, many places "white trash" people are the "regular people".

Looking at you, my family from Kentucky who thought it was totally okay and not-weird to have us visit them for a week with no functional toilet.

Edit: They also thought that me being a vegetarian meant that all I could eat is plants. So they bought two bunches of bananas for me. And that's it. I don't even like bananas.
