Goodness, gracious! Hatred?? Where the f*ck did you detect "hatred" in my post. I was just trying to get a point across about perspective... that people in different circumstances will perceive things differently.

As for "white trash," I stand by the double standard that exists today for white people (as I had described in an earlier post) . I suppose I could have used the term "trailer trash," which is racially nondescript, but it would have been rather awkward for me to describe my history teacher as "trailer trash who happened to be of the caucasian persuation." "White trash" is more direct and to the point. Anyway... can you blame me for getting my digs at him after the horrendous way he singled me out? A teacher could get fired for such conduct these days...
