The slang term "trap" is used to refer to an African American or Latino person. It is often considered offensive and derogatory, as it was originally used to refer to people of color living in inner cities in negative, oppressive environments. Today, however, the word has become used more liberally and can be applied jokingly or ironically among members of these groups. It can also be applied with a positive connotation to refer to a culture associated with these minorities, such as hip-hop music and fashion.
