It's a racist term.

From answers.com:
Quote:
White trash (extended: poor white trash) is a racial epithet usually used to describe certain low income caucasians, especially characterized by crude manners or abnormally low moral standards. According to Oxford English Dictionary, "white trash" first came into common use in the 1830s as an American pejorative used by the slaves of "gentlemen" (rich white Southerners, often plantation aristocrats) against poor Caucasians who worked in the field. The term involves both behavioral characteristics (such as mannerisms, lifestyle) and overt racial characteristics (whiteness). The term is probably used most frequently in the Southeast region of the United States.

These days "white trash" is as racist as the term "pikey".

perhaps that's because as a society we ignore the underlying racism behind its usage.

Slavery was always racist, but not always acknowledged as such.

Similarly, white trash is racist, irrespective of whether people acknowledge it.

Tell you what...let's end the discussion and wait for reefersurfer to state whether or not he meant what I think he meant....as in trailer trash, pikey gypo...that sorta crap.

Or if it's possible for a white guy (reefersurfer) to be racist towards another white person.

I'm white...Holy shit! I must be racist! I just used the term white to describe the way I look with respect to other people. :icon20:

I believe racism only applies when you're using race-based differences for malicious purposes or to somehow give one person an advantage over another one. Otherwise it's just descriptive language.

Well, seeing as how the term is used to describe low income caucasians, I'd say "white trash" is racist.

That was just sad. (Assuming it was real).

The other player(s) shoulda told him he was out of line.

According to who? Hey, I hear the word [LOL RACISM] is pretty commonplace now. Use it downtown, okay? Edit: They've censored [LOL RACISM]? Silly spics.

Very calmly, in a monk-like fashion, I would smash the xbox open, and pour in the chocolate milk.

Then I would hug my child, and tell him I love him.

I think that would fuck him up for a few years to come.


heheh

A n|igger is a n|igger whether or not it's a low class n|gger living on the Mississippi delta or a upper class Frederick Douglass lawyer n|igger. White trash are people who live in trailers who can't read and do meth, but they wouldn't be white trash if they got a decent job and stopped the meth and learned to read and lived in a house that wasn't considered urban blight.

So basically it's 'classial'(heh) instead of racial? But then again, it is always used to refer to white lower class and not any other color lower class. :smirk:

Don't lie... it must have took you around a minute to post that. It only takes 60 minutes to make one hour... and an hour is a very long time... since it only takes 24 of them to make up a day... which is a very long time... since it only take 365 days to make up a year... which is a very long time... since it only take 1000 years to make a millenium... which is a very long time... since it only takes 6,000,000 milleniums to make up the age of the universe... which is a very long time. You definitely spent a very long time on that post. (This post contains not only sarcasm but irony, btw).
