I'm going to try and figure out how to say this, because I'm terrible at it.
Trailer Trash & Ghetto are the same things to me - exactly. I don't really like either term for various reasons but they are the same thing. Blacks and whites are - more or less - two very distinct cultures. There are just different names for them, I think.
From what I've seen in the Black community (and I've spent plenty of time around them) Tyrone does have a trashy connotation. My friend who is black would refer to Tyrone as a 'hood rat name.' Keisha / Monique / Tamika are perfectly acceptable to her - but Tyrone, Keyshawna, and LaShanika are not. Just like I tend to shy away from names like Allysin / Braylynn / Emmaleigh.
