But it's NOT OK to call people trailer trash! Also, please note that the term "trailer trash" does not specify the race, but most derogatory terms for blacks do, and do NOT specify that they are poor or lazy or dirty (although some people would believe they are), as the term "trailer trash" implies.
They are not equivalent forms of rudeness, but they are both rude. The whole idea is for people to treat each other as individuals, not members of large categories. Remember too that some groups will call each other names they would not accept from outsiders. When I was in college on the Opportunity Program, whites were in a minority. We jokingly referred to ourselves as "po' white trash," but woe betide any outsiders who called us that! Our black and Indian friends in the Opportunity Program were not considered outsiders, though; they had the privilege, and would be as incensed as we were if outsiders picked on us. And we had the privilege of calling our black friends by the "n" word which would be replaced with asterisks if I used it here, because they knew the PWT's meant it in fun as much as they did themselves. Listen to gay meant tease each other with names they would never accept from outsiders. Same thing.

About 98 percent of the black people are really not totally black so I would think that it might be acceptable to call them "dark gray".. How about if we went back to the 1800 when it was respectable to call them " Darkies "" ????
Hell, I don't know. Every time I come up with something they tell me that I am wrong on that subject.. I'll more than likely get some feed back from this telling me that I am a racist. Shiiiiiiii.
They call me a " Hunkie " and it does not bother me. They can call you a " whitee" and they think it is O.K. .. But a no. no if you say anything about them.. Shame on me...

If I were "trailer trash" I would be offened// I don't think it is o.k. to call any body a derogatory term... whether they are black, white, or blue.
But, if they are famou, black, and rich...I guess they would want to be called: hard workers, proud, lucky, but I don't know if they have a term...but if they do/// I t think that it is meant to be used only by their friends.
I know they can joke and call each other names..but it is not to be used by others.. that is just the way things go///
I also think you like to stir up trouble/ i really shouldn't of given you the benefit of my time~~ i hate to waste it you know..

I think the trailer trash thing is very offensive (and I don't live in a trailer.) I think the word you may be looking for is thug or hoodlum. Not nec. racist, but conveys. What, though, is the purpose. How about some god damn respect and courtesy for once.

Why would you look for deragoraty terms for anybody? It is NOT okay to call anyone trailer trash. I do not understand why you would be trying to add to something that is already wrong.

How about not calling anybody a derogatory name. Just because people do it doesn't make it alright.

This is a dumb question.
And I don't think it's okay to call white people trailer trash.

Why is it okay to use racial or derogatory names? I think it is ignorant. If you don't use any terms you wont be called racist. Why dont you just call them people, seeing as that is what they are. Just like you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
