Default ESPN

I was just watching Pardon the Interuption on ESPN with Tony Kornheiser and Norman Chad and they repeatedly used the phrase "trailer trash." Why is it ok to use this phrase?

Last night I saw a preview to Sportscenter that was bringing up the issue that there are no people of color in NASCAR. Why does ESPN find this an issue, but is OK with their people referring to Britney Spears as trailer trash? I guess because poor whites don't have a voice in this country, so its ok to pick on them. Would it be ok to them to refer to Alan Iverson as a racial slur? Uhmm, probably not.

On to the issue of NASCAR not having any race-car drivers, why don't they complain that there aren't enough Asian American's in football? Clearly the NFL is discriminating against Asian American since there are so few if any in the NFL. Why aren't there any Middle Aged White Males in the HipHop industry? Surely Dr. Dre must be discriminating against these people.
