Chavs and yobs would actively fight with rednecks.
Worst of the British urban population and worst of the American rural population. They wouldn’t xo exist

I don’t really feel like redneck is the appropriate parallel. It just feels off.

Yeah, a UK chav is more like a US white guy that acts and dresses like a black guy.
A bogan and a redneck are roughly equivalent, but a bogan and a hillbilly also works.

You think lower class behavior = acting black?
Extremely problematic take.

Check your biases.
I clearly meant that they adopted black culture in terms of mannerisms, dress, and speech.

You said doing so is the equivalent of a Chav which is defined by connotations of lower class.
Extremely problematic. Downright racist I’d say.

I think you’re the first one who used the phrase lower class behavior here. Which is kinda telling…

That’s the dictionary definition of Chav:
a young person of a type characterized by coarse and brash behavior (with connotations of low social status).

I’m really surprised to see the vote ratios here. I mean, I assume the person you’re replying to isn’t actually a racist, but the association of black guys with being thugs definitely is.

I think you’re underestimating how many racists there are on here now.

Nah but Chavs are illiterate and uneducated like rednecks just less country and more city

I’m guessing you don’t know any rednecks.
