UTC I see this is an OLD comment thread but in case anyone is still contemplating this I wanted to talk about it I don t think it s a racist term at all What you have to realize is that the words aren t really linked to each other White trash means someone is white and they are trash Black trash would mean someone was black and trash I can understand objecting to something ridiculous like n r trash but that s only because the descriptive word is racist White is not racist Black is not racist White trash is not racist Racism implies superiority of one race over another I surely don t think white trash implies all whites are trash It d be like if Chinese jerk were a term no it does not imply Chinese people are jerks just that the particular person it is directed at is Chinese and a jerk Secondly does it matter to the article Is there a section saying it s racist or do you want to add one If the first I d say let it go and if the latter I disagree on the basis of the above points Just wanted to throw in my two cents Thanks 01 08 13 March 2011
