With regard to your assertion that "people have been discriminated against for being considered "white trash", " they really haven't on a general level. I'm really hard pressed to come up with a single instance of someone being discriminated against for being "white trash."

Actually, when you come to think of it, I'm more than hardpressed. I've never known it to happen.

As I have said, I don't like the term. But as far as linking it to some broader issue about discrimination against whites, I don't know of anything to support your assertion.

Certainly, if you have some objective basis for making your assertion that that people have discriminated for being "white trash," I'm open to discussing it.

I feel that I'm fairly up to date with what is happening in this field. And I don't know any current study or even anecdotal evidence that would support a statement that "certainly people have been discriminated against for being considered 'white trash,'"

If you have some evidence that shows otherwise, just post it. I'd be in a better position to respond.

Just based on your assertion, however, I've gotta say, "nope."
