It is not all people who are trash, merely a proportion of them. We True Christians are not trash. We know that.
However, it is not
us who will convince you that describing people as trash is correct, but God Himself.
Romans 9 is an explanation of not only how God uses His Power, but
why he uses that Power and exercises His Perfect Discretion. In this Chapter, God states as follows:
Ro:9:17: For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Ro:9:18: Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Ro:9:19: Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Ro:9:20: Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Ro:9:21: Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Ro:9:22: What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Ro:9:23: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
I know you will have difficulty reading all that as you seem like a person who has never read a Bible, but look at the bold part.
God is quite clear. He makes people who are trash so that He can destroy them and thereby show His Magnificent Power.
Calling those people "Trash" is the only way to address them.
