Tampa Bay's 10 News:"TRAILER TRASH" headline breaks controversy
So now it's OK to call people "rednecks" (see below about the Barrington anti-deer hunting "I'm a mom") and "trailer trash"? I think "hillbilly" is also permissible--some college football coach yelled that at the other team's fans a couple of weeks ago--I think they were Oklahoma fans. You also hear "cracker" thrown around, along with "white trash."
What do these words have in common? They are negative steretypical words used to describe working class white people, who are now the only group it is permissible to ethnically slur. Is this supposed to be progress?
