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?


They don’t see chav as a racial slur, as they don’t view it as part of race, I think.
I read this in Sazed’s accent, from Mistborn. He used to finish sentences with “I think” :)
