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.

Offensive is directly related to social power. Poor white people have way more social power than any non white person rich or poor. White trash isnt offensive becuse the language doesnt reflect reality.
