What's the difference between white trash and redneck? I'm a born and bred mid Atlantic East coast city dweller, but there is some West Virginia in my deep family history. But anyway, when I saw Kalifornia, I thought the way Early Grace opened beer bottles on the corner of counters and table tops was super cool so I learned to do it. I found out later it was super trashy. Comes in handy when trapped without an bottle opener.

I know @ColtWalker1847 has some strong opinions on this

White trash can be from anywhere, but rednecks are inherently from the country. And trashiness in terms of what kinds of stuff you like or how you dress is highly subjective (e.g., cut off shirts, as in the quiz), but white trash can be defined by lifestyle choices: dropping out of high school not 'cause you gotta support your family but because fuck school, teen pregnancy (not including married older teens), substance abuse, getting into lots of fights, being shitty to your neighbors, and a tangled family structure that doesn't have a lot of stable partnerships and does have a lot of kids being raised by people other than their parents.

To quote radio personality Earl Pitts, "Rednecks got the words spelled right on our tattoos."

Exactly. The term redneck is because a person has one because they are a working-class person in the country out in the sun all day. There is nothing inherently trashy about it. A good deal of the stereotypes are because of practical reasons too. You drive a beat up old pickup because why trash an expensive new one on the rugged country roads (throwing some tacky shit on it for a laugh is optional). Overalls provide a good deal of protection for the wearer when doing work with your hands. Straw/cowboy/baseball hats provide protection against the sun and so on.

Being poor white trailer trash, however, is not limited to being in the country. These folks are typically only marginally employed and struggle to hold down anything but the most basic types of work because of flawed character traits. Historically, these were manual labor jobs though not so much anymore as they require a degree of self-starting and plain old work ethic. This bottom-of-the-barrel worker has since shifted to retail and food service industries that are heavily supervised and the jobs simplified to a ridiculous degree. Thus they lack the redneck of traditional rural workers.

I got 57%, which I think is pretty ok considering where I grew up and the company I keep when I return to Texas.

But, like with anything, when I’m doing the professional thing or I’m meeting a woman who listed “trump voters swipe left” on her tinder I keep my accent in check and refrain from being a bumpkin unless I’m in a meeting with “good ol’ boy” types.

Rednecks and white trash are different, but it’s like a Venn Diagram of low class. There’s some intersect.

If you marry into my family sooner or later you will be invited to a dinner where the meal is freshly hunted squirrel, muskrat, blackbird, frog legs etc, and my family members will delight in loudly sucking the (cooked) brains out of the skulls, offering you the heart, giving you a penis-bone without telling you what it is etc to freak you out.

We can't marry into your family if you all marry each other, that's not how it works.
