Trash is literally stuff that has no worth. That's what that word means. So yeah, when you call someone trash you're saying they're worthless. You're saying that person is equivalent to a thing that needs to be thrown away.

I think that's an innately harmful sentiment, even if the intentions behind it are good.

I don't have a problem with people talking about men or white people or Americans or whatever other privileged group as if they're a monolith. It's kind of inevitable, and mostly good, because it challenges minorities within that privileged group to examine their own thoughts and behaviors.

I do have a problem with language that assumes someone is automatically bad just because they fit into whatever privileged group. I don't think it's okay to call people names or insult them for things they can't change about themselves. And I definitely don't think it's okay to use language that reinforces negative self-worth. (Especially since the first and most important battle we fight in activism is convincing minority people that they DO have worth and their voices and lives have value.)
