Last Friday night, this 24-year-old woman and her 23-year-old husband were out with some friends at a karaoke bar.
She got up on stage to sing a country song, but the rest of their friends stayed behind at the table. During her moment on stage, her husband remarked that she was the most country out of all the women in the bar that evening.
“…When asked if he meant I grew up on a farm, he replied with, “No, she grew up in a pretty white trash area, not that she’s white trash,” she explained.
Her husband mentioned this to her last night while they were talking about another country song she had sung at the karaoke bar a couple of months ago.
She instantly burst into tears, and that’s when her husband realized he really messed up big time.
Sadly, this is not the first time her husband has made an insulting joke at her expense. But anyway, after the waterworks started, her husband quickly said sorry while promising he was not trying to hurt her feelings.
He then backtracked and stated he never thought she was white trash at all. He further tried to cover it all up by insisting his own loved ones don’t think being called white trash is an insult, and they’re all proud to be called hillbillies or rednecks.
“The issue is, he grew up middle class, I’d argue upper middle class and did not grow up in poverty,” she said.
“So he’s never been called any of these names in a true rude and derogatory manner. I have. My family was on food stamps and welfare my entire life. My sister and I rarely got new clothes, shoes, hygiene products, etc.”
