What I find *slightly* humorous is that in "White Trash", you equally have a phrase which you can get away with much more easily if you are of the race you are describing than if you aren't. I don't know if I've ever heard someone who isn't caucasian describe someone as "White Trash". I don't know who could get away with using both terms.

Oh, I wasn't even looking at it in terms of race. If it had said "trailer trash", I would have had the same reaction.
