    Being trailer trash isn't really singled to one race IMO.

    Depending on the context. when it was used like it was in response so a racist innuendo then I have a reason to believe it is racist.
    I'm just that guy that spends all his time printing.... T-shirts, banners, vinyl, etc.

    It's a toss up, if you want to play the "word" game, but I don't use it b/c I feel it does point to a single race.

    I don't think so.. I think "white trash" would be more racist than "trailer trash." WHO knows?

    I guess look at it like this.

    I say something like, "This is why they don't have ********* in Nascar" (btw **** =whatever) and you come back with well you are just trailor trash. Now you are the **** race, and I made an innuendo that offended you racially, it would be a logical assumption that your comeback was also racially biased....

    Here jason, I'll copy and paste my response to the other one you made about this question to me...

    "Jason, was this thread really needed? It was referring to both parties saying something that could be offensive to the other person and making personal attacks... I guess I mis-worded it and it was taking as me saying it was racist. anyways, That whole thing is over, no need to bring it back up. "

    Jason maybe if you would of said if you are calling a, white person trailer trash, because it was targeted to a white guy. To importchic: Yes all types of people DO live in trailers, but the "statement" original targeted was geared to white people. Now do correct me if i wrong but it is a racial offense to call a black person a cotton picker, just as it is to call a WHITE person Trailer Trash. Anyhow to stay on target i do believe it is a racist slur.

    Fuck No. Rednecks always have it coming.

    Not only that, but they DESERVE it. How else are they going to come to terms with the real world.
