Well, Yorba Linda may be upscale but those people are still white trash lowlifes.

Isn’t the term “trash” sufficient?

I had a parent who grew up in the deep South in the sort of socioeconomic circumstances that prompted the fine white middle-class folks around them to quite regularly use the term as an epithet, laden with scorn and derision.

Frankly, I think we need a better term. One more descriptive of the rot within their heads, not their outward appearance.
