Comment by Bruce Rheinstein:

I find it interesting that The Western Star has no objection to use of the term "white trash," which is an "ethnic slur with a social class component." [External Link]

I presume we can look forward to similar language being used to describe other racial, social, and ethic groups. Or perhaps the slur is considered appropriate because the author refers to Americans.
