În limba franceză: déchet blanc
În limba spaniolă: basura blanca
În italiana: spazzatura bianca

Aşa parcă sună mai bine şi totuşi redă sensul peiorativ al expresiei: sărăcimea albă

white trash - slang, US, offensive (poor white people) - sărăcimea albă

Reference information:
White trash versus cracker, hillbilly, Okie, and redneck

In common usage "white trash" overlaps in meaning with cracker (regarding Georgia and Florida), hillbilly (regarding Appalachia), Okie (regarding Oklahoma origins), and redneck.[2] The main difference is that "redneck," "cracker", "Okie", and "hillbilly" emphasize that a person is poor and uneducated and comes from the backwoods with little awareness of the modern world, while "white trash" emphasizes the person's moral failings.[3]
