Which is funny because almost every New Yorker I've ever met was white trash.

That phrase implies a belief that white people by default are not trash while people of other races by default are, does it not?

Only if you want it to.
Deny if you will, that's the history of the phrase.

In my experience, the phrase "black trash" doesn't exist. Is that your experience too? If so, why do you think the one phrase exists and the other does not?

It's been my experience that "white trash" is the same as "cracker" which is the derogatory term black folks use against whites. It would be on the same level (for lack of a better word) as "spic" or "wetbacks" for Hispanics, the "n" word for blacks, or "chinks" for Asians.
It's an ugly world out there.

Yup. I don't use any of those words for anyone.

The phrase comes from House Negroes who used it as a pejorative against poor Southern whites before the Civil War. It then took up residence with the Yankees who to this day continue to look down upon us Po' Ol' Suth'un, Low Class Degenerates. As Americus notes it has related terms among other races that describe them in an unflattering manner, but Cracker, Honky and White Trash is all ours.

No it does not.
It's actually more linked to waste people, crackers, squatters and terms like that.
Its a rich vs poor thing and not really a black vs white thing.
However... the term was often used by black house slaves when speaking about white servants.
The term eventually evolved into the more used trailer trash. Which really is speaking on someone's moral failings as well as a wealth status...
But I wouldn't expect you to know that (or even google before making such a wild claim)

I refuse to say or write the "n" word. None of those words should ever be said, used, or written in a derogatory manner, but I will not write or say that word in any manner.

Things are different in the 21st century. That barrier has been kicked down. Will Ferrell did it when he used the word "namby-pamby" in Anchorman.

I don't often use namby-pamby, but when I do, it's to call out a well and truly namby-pamby individual.
You know I'm literally referring to the fake word "namby-pamby", right?
