A Trash is a Trash

I was on a bus home a few weeks ago. The whole England (that's what they were saying) was having a "beautiful" Indian summer. "Beautiful" as long as you are not on the city bus which only has tiny pull-open windows on the entire floor to let the fresh air come in; it was a hell of a sauna. What was worse was that the bus was absolutely packed.
On the first row chatting loudly were two kids, about 18 or 19, each one occupying a two-seater seat. It sounded like one of them was talking about a computer war game. So this woman is a slut and she 's like, sleeps with anybody, everywhere she goes, the bold one goes, Uh-huh, the other one nods. It's a battle zone and she is wearing a bikini...

When a man sleeps with anybody, he is a stallion.
When a woman sleeps with every one, she is called a slut.
It's sexist. Gender discrimination. If a word like slut is being used that way, James Bond is a slut.

There are a number of words people use without thinking that are, in my opinion, politically incorrect.
Take "white trash" for example. Why do they need to add "white"? Is the term based upon the idea that white people are not often trash that it has to be defined that way?
A trash is a trash. Full stop.
