Chav? Is this the part where you tell me white people are victims of racism too? (Not that chav has ever been a white person insult).

I know where the word Ghetto came from i'm not stupid , the point i'm making is it's become ingrained in pop culture and all types of people get called ghetto. Yes there's racist connotations when some people use that word.
Ghetto was usually an insult because of where somebody lived , and lack of education aswell as their behaviour . Yes it was aimed at predominantly black people because when people think of poor areas in America like the hood etc where there's alot of crime it's usually places like compton etc .
I'm just saying you can't immediately assume ghetto is racist when anyone uses it today . Think about context aswell.
Well you were the one trying to say it's as bad as the N word which is ridiculous.
I'm just saying the word Chav can be taken a certain way, but we use it. Chav is aimed at british low class people . the way people dress, act and the way they decorate their homes get's called chavvy .
