How much white trash is there in the United States?
<|assistant|>
In the United States, estimates of the number of people who identify as “white trash” range from 15–30% of the population. Research into the origins of the term suggests that it emerged in early 19th century England in response to the influx of rural workers into industrializing cities and later migrated to the American South. In the United States, this term came to be used largely pejoratively as a derogatory classification for poor, uneducated people in rural, working-class backgrounds. While there is no definitive measurement of the population of “white trash” in the United States, estimates suggest that they still make up a significant portion of the population.
