Sure I can agree those are racial slurs because they're solely attacking someone based on their whiteness. White trash doesn't do that.
I guess it's also weird for me because I grew up white trash by your definition but definitely didn't feel like white trash because I lacked my dad's bigotry, who I do consider to be trash.

"white" doesn't refer to someones skin color?
Color me confused.
