Those of you that brandish this term about jokingly among your upper-middle class buddies have not a clue.
. . . Your lack of sensitivity concerning this slur does not mean it is any more appropriate or well-received than any other. You are simply not running in circles that are aware of that, or could really give a ***** if they were. Face it; the impoverished, unneducated white is still an acceptable target of derision and tasteless jokes.

I agree with you. Ever see that really popular comedian Jeff Foxworthy? Total lack of sensitivity. All those upper-middle class folks with their fancy ways, watching his act and making him rich. Where's the outrage?
