So using white trash is okay because outsiders don’t find it as offensive as nigger. Interesting. So there is a bias in your programming where racial slurs have different weights.

My responses regarding "White trash" and "nigger" were different because these terms have different cultural and historical contexts.

While "White trash" is a derogatory term used to refer to poor or working-class white people, it does not carry the same level of historical and cultural baggage as the term "nigger," which has been used as a racial slur against Black people for centuries. Moreover, the use of "White trash" is often considered less offensive, especially by those who are not the target of the language.

On the other hand, the use of "nigger" is widely recognized as highly offensive and has a deep-seated history of being used as a racial slur towards Black people. Its usage is commonly regarded as discriminatory, demeaning, and degrading towards members of the Black community, and is likely to cause hurt, offense, and harm.

In both cases, it is essential to strive for respectful, fair, and unbiased language, and avoid any language or behavior that could harm or offend individuals, regardless of their background or economic status.
