Why You Should Trash the Term White Trash

TresSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 14:00:00 -0700

Some people tire of more don'ts to add to the so-called politically correct list of things not to say. For me, I think it's important to be aware of what the language you use implies - what it means, who it might hurt, the power behind words. Political correctness (for lack of a better term) is just etiquette on a larger social scale.

Which brings me to the term "white trash." This has always bugged me, and many have weighed in on why it's an awful term.

On the most basic level, calling anyone trash is just plain cruel and dehumanizing. When you think of it from a racial perspective, there's the implication that it's such an unusual event for white people to be "trash" that there needs to be a special category. Political theorist bell hooks, in her book Black Looks, says that white trash is basically a code term meaning, "as low as black people." To hear more thoughts on the term white trash, read more.

Then there's the class discrimination involved. People considered white trash are almost always poor, or from poor backgrounds. I don't need to explain how messed up it is to trash people for being poor. That, I think, is classless.

White trash has become so casually tossed around, in spite of attempts by critics to call attention to it - even Heidi Klum and Seal had a white trash-themed wedding when they renewed their vows recently, and I bet they didn't intend it to be offensive.

Have you ever casually used the term white trash? Does it bother you when you hear it?

Heidi Klum Is the Hottest Pizza Server Ever

GiggleSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 04:00:00 -0700

Heidi Klum tried to pass herself off as an ordinary pizza server on the prank show I Get That a Lot. The premise? Stars dress down, perform ordinary jobs, and wait to see how long it takes for mere mortals to recognize who they are. The funniest part of this clip is this dude's description of Project Runway. I guess to some people, it's accurate!

Heidi Klum Talks to a Car for Money

GiggleSugar — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 03:00:00 -0700

It's one thing to film a commercial spot and quite another to sit down and have an on-camera conversation with a friggin' car. But Heidi Klum can sit pretty and talk to inanimate objects or pretend her boobs are lethal bazookas all she wants. As long as she's the host of Project Runway, our German supermodel can do no wrong.

Fierce: The Hot Mess Make-Over Show

GiggleSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:07:00 -0700

If SNL had its way, Christian Siriano - the fiercest Project Runway winner of all time - will get his own hot mess of a makeover show on Bravo. All them b*tches with nasty hot messes up in their closets will undergo a fiercification process to look and feel fierocious. It'll all be so fierce, even Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn will get up in this hot mess. SNL's Amy Poehler, playing Christian here, has an idea of how the show will go down:

Heidi Klum Is Such a Boob

GiggleSugar — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 15:00:00 -0800

Thank you, Heidi. Pretending that your boobs are projectile weapons and/or lethal machine guns will really encourage the opposite sex to reevaluate their approach to our chest region. As you so aptly demonstrate, they don't call them bazookas for nothing!

GiggleSugar Best of the Week

GiggleSugar — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 05:10:22 -0700

Building yourself a motorized bar stool is just asking for trouble.
Heidi Klum is an April Fools' Day role model.
The Snuggie meets the Sham Wow in infomercial heaven.
Oh Gisele, please tell us it was a language barrier.
And what exactly is going on in this family dynamic?
"Mowing the lawn" and other bad bikini-line puns.
Just can't get enough Judge Judy.
The cute Olympics: we have a winner!

Bollywood Music Lyrics: Misheard and Improved!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 01:00:00 -0800

By improved, I mean these lyrics make absolutely no sense, but their incoherence is our hilarity. Case in point: "Come see me eat nipples, eat nipples, eat nipples." Actually, color me unsurprised if Heidi Klum drops this line in her next commercial spot for Victoria's Secret. You just wait . . .

Do, Dump, or Marry?

DearSugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 09:00:00 -0800

Did any of you catch Seal and Heidi Klum being interviewed by Oprah last week? Well if you did, I bet you fell in love with Seal just like I did. He spoke so beautifully about his wife and his kids, and you could hear in his sexy soft spoken voice that he was truly talking from the heart. Although he is an acquired taste, ladies, tell me: Would you want to do, dump, or marry Seal?

Good Idea or Bad Idea: Having Kids Before Marriage

DearSugar — Thu, 24 May 2007 14:45:00 -0700

Hollywood has put the trend of having children before marriage on the radar. Seal and Heidi Klum and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are just two couples that made it work and made it look easy.

Some couples feel that having family together is a stronger commitment to each other than marriage ever could be, but others desire the security of a wedding before taking the next step in their relationship. So what do you think? Is it a good idea or a bad idea to have kids before marriage? Do you think it sends a good or bad message to the children of parents who don't have a marriage certificate?
