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.

Offense is subjective. And it’s also not black and white. It’s more nuanced than Offensive/Not Offensive.
Maybe it will become more offensive to the point that other terms are in the future, but right now it isn’t (by comparison).
I personally use the term “human garbage” these days because it’s more colorful and doesn’t limit my targets.
