......please don't sit here and try to tell me that words like "white trash" are used on the same level as the other. That is ridiculous. I don't know what TV you watch....but I can't remember when I heard the term "white trash" being used regularly in the media or outside of it.

It is not always said, but the image is always out there in the media. Take country music for example. Some artists glorify being "white trash" or "redneck", but other white people would HATE being called that or hearing the terms used from another race. So what is everyone else supposed to think? Is it okay or not? The same thing goes with the N word. The point is every ethinicity has a side that its people don't want to be completely represented by.
