I learned a new word, and it turns out the word is a slur for a person who is working class. That seems very nasty, considering that statistically speaking, working class people are the majority of Britain. Most British people I know online are against racial slurs yet throw around the slur “chav” like it’s nothing. Why?
Chav isn’t really a slur, it’s derogatory sure but not a slur. Also, plenty of British people throw around racial slurs, it just sounds like you know mostly nice people.
