...under all of these great posts on what terms are best but I find that chav and ghetto are terms that people often use as well but people don't tend to get in as much of an uproar over them. I understand where you are coming from with "trailer trash," however, not all people that live in trailers are trashy just how not all people that live in ghettos are classless. I think maybe you could just say a "trashy" family or a "unsophisticated" family or something of the like.

Personally, I call something what it is (trashy or unsophisticated) but other people like politically correct terminology, of which there really is none for this specific situation.
