At first glance Carline Felts didn't think anything about a flyer that was left on her door, but after a closer look she says she's offended. "That's not acceptable!" she said sternly. "I haven't seen White Trash around here."
The "White Trash Party" was to be hosted by the Zen Restaurant and Bar in the Austin Ranch apartment community in The Colony, just off of the North Dallas Tollway.
On one side of the flyer there's a scantily clad woman and a picture of Britney Spears on the bottom. The other side of the flyer has a shot of a trailer park.
The ad urges everyone planning to attend to 'dress the part'. "They wouldn't have a Hitler party or a come get ghetto with us [party]," Felts said in objection of the event.
But not everyone is against the party. Steve Birge and his girlfriend Stacey Lamp wouldn't dream of missing the party on Sunday. "Oh come on its outrageous! I love it," said Birge, who lives at Austin Ranch. "I'm going over there and dress the part; with the fake mullet and everything." Lamp says she'll be wearing her 'Daisy Dukes' and a cut off white tank top.
The "White Trash Party" is supposed to be a fundraiser for a girls softball team. The team, 99 TX MX Blue, is trying to go to Florida for the National Championships and needs at least $12,000 to make the trip happen.
"Not to offend anyone, we felt like white trash running around trying to get all the money," explained James Wilson, a parent of one of the softball players. "All the girls on the team are 'redneck' girls and we were laughing."

Yes. Yes it is.
I think it is a novel idea, what’s this woman’s problem, they aren’t forcing people to go.
We rednecks can laugh at ourselves. The rest ‘get offended’.
‘Rednecks” and “white trash” ain’t the same critters. Best be careful, folks will think you are a carpetbagger!
I know I’ll shed a tear for ya if ya do. :`( lol
Jay Leno has been tellng white trash jokes 2-3 times a week. Of course, everything is off limits.
A little over the top for 10 year olds, I think.
You’re gonna need a really BIG bag for that.
LOL!! Comon! Mary Huff is great!
I liked that — it’s like a Bluegrass Blue Oyster Cult!
After a number of complaints the theme of the party was changed late Friday afternoon. Organizers say the theme is now softball, hot dogs and apple pie.
