That's because white people typically don't get offended at comments like "white trash" or "cracker" unless the speaker was trying to be offensive, or the listener was trying to be offended (See: you).
In the context of a chicken plucking device that this guy built in his backyard because he just happens to have slaughtered chickens lying around, I'd consider "white trash" to be pretty non-offensive. Just poking fun. Unlike, what I imagine in your experience is "hounded and shouted down", using language to make someone out to be less-than-human because of their race. If the title said "Fucking whitey builds a device to pluck chickens for him", the reaction here would have been very different.
