[kj] OT: White trash

[Flight Bringer]

I have no problem with  the word "White" being used as a prefix for any other word , I am White, I'm not ashamed of being White , so why should I be bothered if people use the word White to reconfirm the fact that I am White .
     And if people want to call me "White trash" , then that is their opinion and I believe that they should be allowed to air it .
