Why is there only the term "white trash"? There's black trash and Mexican trash too. But I think I may have made up those terms because no one else uses them. Why? They're better than the words n*gger and be*ner because those words are used to denigrate the whole race, not just the trash.

Hmm.. thts something I've wondered abt a lot too.. But I think it boils down to the fact tht white ppl are worried abt being labelled racist if they refer to blacks/mexican as trash.. This never happens the other way around :D.. Well at least I havent heard of tht. Althuogh I agree that it should!
This seems to be a touchy subject.. cuz this is your first answer.

Our very creative society, I'm being sarcastic, has created a different way to degrade the poor of each culture. White people have been deemed trash. I guess it's the best we could do. If you think about it, it beats be@ner and Ch!nk. Those are some pretty poorly thought out degradations.

It doesn't. Calling someone trash to denigrate them is not unique to the white race.

Well, I suppose "trailer trash" includes all colors, doesn't it?
Actually, I think the term "white trash" came from the racists, who called whites who associated with 'colored' people that to show that they were lowering their standards.
