I will tell you that Alexandria was upset by one of the Many Many twists this thread has taken when Elizabeth mention something about White Trash. Now, earlier it was mentioned that families move to a certain area to be by a priest/school though they are financially strapped. So, when Elizabeth threw in "White Trash" it almost seemed that she was talking about those poor families.
Except that both you and Alexandria know I was not.
It would only "almost seem" this way to someone with a very big chip
on her shoulder who was spoiling for a confrontation.
To anyone out there not feigning scandal at the term 'white trash' it is
the only shorthand I could think of to describe someone like the
characters in
To Kill a Mockingbird. Specifically, Mayella Violet
Ewell and her father, Bob Ewell.
