I mean any phrase that takes a crack at one's station on the bottom of the economic food chain is usually frowned upon, especially when it connotes stupidity, laziness, or slovenly behavior.

Still a funny word.

If someone I didn't know very well called me white trash, yeah I think I would be irritated.

No, most white trash folks either don’t know they are or else they embrace it.

I don't think so. But call black people "black trash" and see what happens.

According to Facebook it is. I referred to myself as being white trash and was put on probation. :)

I see no difference in calling a White person 'wt" than calling a black person "n".

NONE!

I'm black. I have a lot of rich and upper middle class white friends. When they refer to someone as white trash, it feels derogatory.
