Mmm, interesting opinion about the term "white trash". According to Harriet Beecher Stowe in the 1850's it was used by black slaves to refer to poor whites, never with reference to blacks then or now. I could understand your opinion that whites may feel maligned by my use of the phrase but I disagree that it is racist language about blacks.

Good review but please, J9 think a little bit more about the real meaning of your words. "White trash" is very discriminatory slang -- it implies that white people are not usually trash whereas black people always are, hence the use of the word "white". With the overuse of the term "trailer trash" it has become popular again but please consider dropping it from your vocabulary in future.

I think I'm about 25% into this one... I haven't been able to really get INTO it yet though!!! I love erotic romance, but so far it seems super "far-fetched" (even for erotic romance!) lol
