Sure, not a nice term at all, but if you were to substitute the word white for any other race/color such as “black trash”, “yellow trash”, etc. it would sound wayy more offensive and I would imagine be led with some public backlash! Yet I see the term “white trash” thrown around in some casual conversations, tv shows, and pop culture with not much afterthought.

White trash is funny for two reasons. First, it was created by white people to criticize other whites, so it doesn’t feel racist. Second, it was created to say, “Sure their white, but they’re so poor and ignorant that they may as well not be.”
