by definition a person of a certain race ( let's go with your phrasing of white people ) can not be Racist towards a fellow member of their same race
Racism- belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others-------------
a white person calling another white person ' White Trash ' is referred to as Classism
Classism- biased or discriminatory attitude based on distinctions made between social or economic classes.the terminology 'White Trash' is derogatory for sure.. but it is a Classist derogatory term.. not a Racist derogatory term when being spoken from one white person to another white person..
same would apply if a black person called another black person 'Black Trash'.. it would not be racist. .it would be a classist reference
thought you understood simple things Hotfire..
but if you need definitions explained for you .. ok.. there you go..
