re: "White trash" is banned on FB

You guys aren't getting it. The left wants to ban the term because it is demeaning toward black people, by implying that anything non-white is by nature trashy. It's a white supremacist meme. Which is complete horseshite.

quote:
Wray argues that although the term is meant to disparage poor whites, it simultaneously demeans other races by maintaining that there is something about being white that is superior to other racial groups. This is why the modifier “trash” is used.
Code Switch news assistant Leah Donnella sums up Wray’s argument well: “. . . ‘white’ is the only racial group that needs a modifier for it to become a slur. There’s no ‘black trash’ or ‘Hispanic trash’ or ‘Native American trash,’ presumably, because for most of American history, those people were assumed by those in power to be poor, uneducated and criminal.”
Wray also suggests that the term is used to reinforce the long-standing idea that poor whites are more racist than middle class or white elites. This allows affluent whites to escape criticism as racists, while stereotyping poor whites as representative of “real” racism. Accordingly,
Wray states: “Whites who use the term are saying, ‘Look, I’m not racist. The person down the road is racist. The one who drops the N-word, or has the Confederate flag flapping off the back of their truck. That’s real racism.’ “

I had a feeling that's what it was about.
