    Rural America is poor and they are the ones dealing with the meth and opiod crisis the most. They don’t show families who live in trailer parks dealing with these addictions on TV or talk to the average working class person in the rural south who has addicts across their family. The only white people they give a shit about are those in giant houses and come from the middle class. You can clearly see this in documentaries and TV programs about meth and opiods.

    Damn, never realized this before, but you're totally right. Anything poor whites get addicted to is counted as "white trash" and they're dehumanized for it. But when rich whites get addicted to pain pills, then it's suddenly a societal crisis and not dismissed as a failure of the individual.
