My associates accuse me of being "too urban." Hmmm. If they accused me of being too black, everyone would be in an uproar.

It's actually quite stereotypical and sadly, socially acceptable.

I prefer to use "trailer trash" or "trailer park chic" myself and lo and behold, I get accused of being racist!
