not necessarily. i think anything that falls as the stereotypical "frat guy" echoes the same sentiment. and if you're going by a per capita basis then college towns (most notably party schools) have a disproportionate number of these people. and it's not like they come from urban areas either, most are middle class suburbanites.

americans just have a different definition of "white trash". imo they're all trash.
