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

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

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.

Where did they do this??

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).

that’s a dictionary definition , top tier cherry picking though, congrats.

Note, this says “connotations of low social status.” The “urban black” culture usually has this same connotation. It isn’t a rule that people from either of these groups have low social status, it’s just associated with it. This is not racist, though the association could be viewed as problematic, but that is a cultural issue, not an issue with what the user above said.

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.
