I'm going to let this go, but please don't come into a rural community and start calling people white trash. If you do, you're going to find out real quick that "white trash" is indeed patently offensive to many, many people.

Every community is different and I wouldn't assume anyone in your community is the same as those in my community. You are ASSuming that I don't know that white trash is offensive. Of course its offensive-and its not like I run around just calling people white trash. There is a lot that runs through a person's mind that isn't appropriate to say out loud to someone else. I am allowed to share my opinion although I would never walk up to a person & call them white trash (unless I was looking to get beat down by that person or their redneck family.)
And by the way-I didn't state wrong. I definitely said what I meant to say. Its called an OPINION:
o·pin·ion
n.
A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof: “The world is not run by thought, nor by imagination, but by opinion” (Elizabeth Drew).
A judgment based on special knowledge and given by an expert: a medical opinion.
A judgment or estimation of the merit of a person or thing: has a low opinion of braggarts.
The prevailing view: public opinion.
Law. A formal statement by a court or other adjudicative body of the legal reasons and principles for the conclusions of the court.
