Just for argument's sake, how is "white trash hillbilly" any different from say "inner city jigaboo"? In this specific personal context I would say the fact that I'm white diminishes the offensiveness. Akin to Chris Rock or Jay-Z using the N word. In a more general historical/cultural context I would say that a big difference is the fact that "inner city jigaboos" didn't systematically oppress, torture, rape, and murder "white trash hillbillies" with zero legal ramifications for 400+ years. Sad thing is it's still happening except it's not the white trash hillbillies doing it. They are doing it to each other in Africa. Here we had lynching. There they do tire necklaces & dismemberment and so on.

The correct answer was "Neither are acceptable." Please report to sensitivity training/reeducation at once. If anything "white trash" should be considered offensive because it's derogatory to other races. Like "These people are white, but they're all stupid and fucked up like they're not white."
