This is like someone saying "I am a man, and I don't find it offensive if they call some men faggots". That's just because while you're a man, you're not a homosexual man, so it doesn't affect you.
It's not to whites in general that the term "white trash" will be offensive. It's to the subset of whites that are labelled as such.
>IMO however, being white trash is not about poverty, its about ignorance and a lack of a desire to know more about the world.
Just like how blacks were considered "ignorant and lazy".
Wikipedia puts it like this:
>White trash is a derogatory American English racial slur referring to poor white people, especially in the rural South of the United States, suggesting lower social class and degraded standards of living.
Besides, being poor and working hand to mouth, or coming from a dysfunctional poor family, lessens your "desire to know more about the world" and your sophistication....
