Oh yeah I see what you mean. Yeah it's a particular strain of poor white people therefore racist and classist all together. Is that what you mean?It isn't a term that's thrown at all white people though, is it? Nobody would call David Cameron or Boris Johnson a chav.
I think it's classist, but I'm not convinced it's racist.Oh yeah I see what you mean. Yeah it's a particular strain of poor white people therefore racist and classist all together. Is that what you mean?
"Chav" is basically our equivalent of "trailer trash".trailer trash is more classict Id say. and no one whose being serious is offended by cracker.
Why not?I think it's classist, but I'm not convinced it's racist.
Because of what I was saying about it not targeting all white people. If it were racist then I'd have thought it would be applicable to any white person due to it being based on race.Why not?
It's not the same as Mexican but nvm this is a bit boring now.I think catalog is hung up on it being a white specific term, but I dont think a word acknowledging race makes it inherently racist. This is a common hang up. My mom used to whisper the word 'mexican' when I was growing up.
I've seen people comparing Kavanaugh and Rittenhouse - albeit cos they both cried (or pretended to) in their trial.I was going to say "What about Kavanaugh?" but then I read the rest of your post and realised I didn't understand what you meant by "white good ole boy culture".
I think you could argue it's racist or xenophobic if it were targeted at a specific white ethnicity, like Welsh or Irish or Scottish slurs, but it's much more rooted in class, as far as I can tell.Yeah I agree with that. But what I'm saying is its intersectional
Not for me but it's a very fine nuanceI think you could argue it's racist or xenophobic if it were targeted at a specific white ethnicity, like Welsh or Irish or Scottish slurs, but it's much more rooted in class, as far as I can tell.
What just in general? Like by saying that word she thought (or felt) she was doing something wrong?I think catalog is hung up on it being a white specific term, but I dont think a word acknowledging race makes it inherently racist. This is a common hang up. My mom used to whisper the word 'mexican' when I was growing up.
