Figured I'd throw my two cents in here. I spent Thanksgiving with a friend's family (all 30 or so of them!) and had a good time. Inevitably, someone asks about my family and I, inevitably, refer to them (and myself) as 'white trash', acting like it's a joke. Not so subtle I guess, but it's deep rooted in me and very effective at ending any additional questions about my family! Why must I do that?
