Trailer Trash???????

The Frisky posted an article about celebrities who would make great neighbors at a trailer park. Here are some of the celebrities they chose:

Matthew McConaughey lived out of his customized Airstream trailer in Malibu for at least four years (before upgrading to a double-wide trailer), getting up to surf in the mornings and barbecuing outside at night. He called it “the Canoe” and says he loves it because, “I’ve always loved driving. Driving is, number one, where I get some time with myself. Number two, it’s the main place I catch up on music. And number three, it’s the best way to see the country.” He even gave photographers a mini tour of the inside, which is pretty cute. [TheFind.com]
Will Smith bought the most blinged out, two-story trailer he could find that contains a recording studio, 20-seat lounge, baby play room, and two 42-inch TVs. Matt Damon said of the set-up, “It was amazing. I mean it’s four times bigger than my first apartment in New York. I kind of expected it to have a swimming pool and a golf range. I’m surprised they got it on wheels.” I guess you can’t say anything about trailer trash with that monstrosity. [Cinema.com]
In 2008, Jamie Lynn Spears said that she was looking for a double-wide trailer to start a new life with her boyfriend Casey Aldridge and their baby. But they ended up buying a three-bedroom home in her hometown, Liberty, Mississippi, which is so much less fun. [Star]

So, what cultural assumptions are made about the "trailer park"? How, if at all, is the trailer park a racialized space?
