chav

Romany word meaning "little child". Recently misappropriated by the mainstream media and used as a slur against British working class culture, while at the same time denigrating it's language of origin. To be called a chav is to be a scapegoat and effectively a "white nigger".
In many ways, both chavs and US trailer trash are 'not-quite-white', in the sense that they are seen as thieving, violent, promiscuous and thoroughly unrespectable: the very tropes that historically have been applied to Irish, Asian and Black immigrants in Europe and America.

A Chav can typically come from a deprived background or has had a deprived upbringing, who feels the world owns them something for being brought up on a council estate, thus decides to lash out at people who appear better off than them.

A chav someone who dresses in lower designer sports brands and cheap attire from generic mass produce shops. They are proud and patriotic and are brought through the pub culture. They are extremely easily influenced and manipulated by media and find it very difficult not to become Hipsters.

As a Stereotype it has been blurred by the media to mix in other ethnicities especially when concerning anti social behaviour however it is mostly relevant to British working class Caucasians.

Originally Chava was the word used to identify someone with cheap knock off sports branded and Burberry clothing and gold jewellery but it was later on shortened to appropriate a catchy stereotype.
