"You're determined to see everyone else as a closet racist, though, aren't you?"

Nope.

I've informed people on here what the word Chav is and what it means.

I'm saying that the word CHAV is a derogatory word imposed on Britains white underclass.

My assertion is backed up by every dictionary I have read, all of which describe the word Chav as derogatory.


This piece of information has caused quite a stir.

People seem to want to defend their right to use this word.

They do so by criticizing how Chavs behave.

In the process making sweeping judgements about hundreds OF thousands of unemployed, uneducated people on housing estates all over the country.

The word "chav" buys straight into the whole daily mail idea of scrounging lazy spongers.

When ever I hear the word used, it is in conjunction with other swear words eg 'bloody chavs' or 'fucking chav etc'

Chav is not a word that is said, but a word that is Spat and discarded in the gutter.

Comparing them to Mods, Rockers, Punks etc is wrong as all those groups called themselves those names and were proud to be members of that group.

Chavs were labelled and despised first and then reclaimed the word chav for themselves afterwards.

There is a serious problem concerning the development of the uderclass in Britain, and using the term Chav to foster contempt for them does noothing to address that problem.
