Problems with WhiteTrash Studies

The problem with writing about and studying white trash-ness & things that deal with poor, uneducated white people, is that people either think you're being boringly ironic, or unecessarily cruel. But, I refuse to let that stop me. I am earnest and sincere, and wish to know and study the thing I partly am. Critique of White Trash studies is in itself a haughty, classist pose; too, it is a rejection of intellectual, artistic inquiry. In fact, you will often find many people bristling when you endeavour to study anything, when you wish to analyze and discover and tear apart the layers of surfaces and discover the shapes of things. But this should not stop you. Keep going and persist in your follies and studies.
