This is why we need DrPhil to drop in and start detailing the definitions of racism vs prejudice. *sigh* I miss her....anyway, I think there was a lot more "prejudice" behind those words than "racism" but that is based on what I have been taught is the true meaning of racism (which would completely derail a thread about weddings so I'll refrain).
OAN I agree with naraht--I find it *almost* humorous (more like bemusing) that both terms were used in the same description. I would never call someone "white trash" nor could I get away with such a thing. But I would also never call myself or anyone else the n-word nor do I think it would be acceptable to just because I'm Black.
