By pure definition this is not a racist term when used between people of the same generic race.
White trash is an American English pejorative term referring to poor white people in the United States, suggesting lower social class and degraded living standards. The term suggests outcasts from respectable society living on the fringes of the social order who are seen as dangerous because they may be criminal, unpredictable, and without respect for authority whether it be political, legal, or moral.[1] The term is usually a slur, but may also be used self-referentially by whites to jokingly describe their origins
So, what's your point?
Oh and while we're at it, it IS totally different to the "Terryism" aimed at Anton Ferdinand but you need to understand your history to follow the logic of that one.
I wonder if you were a white (generic) Englishman playing football in England and someone threw some trash at you, would it have any significance on the world stage? NO, but if you were a black Englishman and someone threw a banana at you that would be the same would it? Maybe the black English footballer needs to man up a bit eh?

so it is ok in your book to say "get that black rubbish out of here!" as long as it is used in a joking sense or i suppose the black equivalent would be "Ghetto Trash"....bit of a shocker as i would have thought that was a big no no to some of the more PC types on here. Just shows how confusing and ridiculous it all is doesnt it?
