Lucky for me Immigrants dont qualify as White Trash!!

I am doing a report on white trash for my postcolonialsim course. I am finding some really hilarious things in my research. But im also relizing that i thing ethnic slurs are the funniest things ever. I found an A-Z index of them online and couldnt stop laughing. I think people shouldnt get offended by these things. I am probably wrong in saying this. But thats what I think. And I am often reffered to as a Yank here in London and I find it hilarious.

oh it reminded me of last summer when I visited San Diego and we were at Chris's house and were playing scatagories but making up our own and we did Racial Slurs. That was the funniest time ever. Chris obviously won and that is why I love him dearly. Jeff used slurs from like hamurabi's code or the fucking rosetta stone. like Slurs that haven't been heard or used in like 10 million years. more confusing than offensive.

Another conclusion- I will only be friends with people if they allow me to use racial slurs in addressing them. Why else would i be friends with james/win the most racist award when we went camping. I wish I had some Arab friends because I really like the term Towel Head.

Why is pseudo-racism/biggotry so funny? any ideas?

I don't know... you say imigrants don't qualify as White Trash...but I can't help but think about a family photo we have from back in the day, us sitting on top of our civic, dad in a wife beater, mom in a floral skirt and a strip shirt, you in biker shorts,and a dressy vest and me....well me just being a dork sitting on a roof of a car...... I think we did at least at one point in time...
