Of interest, Wikipedia says that the term "white trash" originated among black house slaves:

"The term White trash first came into common use in the 1830s as a pejorative used by house slaves against poor whites. In 1833 Fanny Kemble, an English actress visiting Georgia, noted in her journal: "The slaves themselves entertain the very highest contempt for white servants, whom they designate as 'poor white trash'".[8][9]"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_trash

Given the origins of the term, I really don't think it has the same racial undertone that you've suggested. It's a racially loaded term but it's not "you specify 'white trash' and so therefore it indicates that all other races are trash by default." It's certainly never had that implication in my understanding of the term. It's more like "red neck" which likewise touches on a very specific subsect of white (typically) southern United States culture.
