Owen Jones, author of Chavs: The Demonisation of the working class, class hatred is explained ‘ last ‘ prejudices accepted. He scolds us for bandying about the word well ‘ be a chav ‘, explains, as scandalised parents react to their children the first swear words, that the offensive and derogatory and should be as universally condemned as the word ‘ nigger ‘. He has an unlikely Ally in comedian Reginald D Hunter, who observed that ‘ the only reason the United Kingdom has a class system is because they are so crap on racism ‘.
I take no issue with the idea that the culture of the United Kingdom is absorbed by the arrogance and class consciousness. What is annoying is a social visionary like Owen Jones exploited the middle-class guilt-probably due to feeling helpless undeservedly lewah privilege-to make people feel the need to bowdlerise the term they and remove from the vocabulary of words that are very practical. This is a generalization, but useful.
Of course, the argument is completely against the air superiority and dislike the word often spoken. However I don’t believe for one second that tinkering with the acceptance of the ‘ be a chav ‘ will make an ounce of these disagreements.
And to be honest, I am not at all sure that the people at the end will give a twitch of eyebrow Pierce for their opinion on the oh-so-subtle bullies either. Class hatred of anything but one-sided. The word ‘ posh ‘ can be pronounced with contempt usually reserved for something cats bring after the old wee on it. Other classes may not be demonised, but definitely hated. What makes the connotations of ‘ be a chav ‘ is far more offensive than insulting connotations of ‘ arrogant ‘? Why does someone need to show more thoughtful and sensitivity solely to become even more special?
