Coe is not a racist (you can watch him play certain shows with an african american drummer), although he certainly has never shyed away from using racial slurs and extremely vulgar language. The slur is used in the context of a poor southern white family... The only reason it seems offensive is because its coming from the mouth of a white man. If he were black he would be considered a racist for using the slur "white trash" in the song.
