Chavs are mostly white from low income families. Education is of no importance to them neither is employment. If they do get a part time job its only to afford an old Fiesta they can do up or something. I think the crux of it is education (or lack thereof)

I can, with some effort, wrap my head around there being "white trash" in England, but the fact that it appears to be a carbon copy emulation of the "Italian American from New Jersey" stereotype is just too ****ing bizarre!

I think the thing is in the US most of the white trash is rural or at least acts like it's rural. The only place where you find urban white trash equivalent to chavs in the US is in the densely packed northern cities. It's not so much that it's just the "Italian-American from New Jersey" group—there are equivalent groups of mostly Irish-Americans in Boston or mostly Polish-Americans in Chicago for example—it's just that New Jersey guidos are the most well-known group that fit the profile.

i see your point, but if you approach it in that manner then i don't think there's nearly as wide a demographic that fits this stereotype you're creating. at least not in the america i know.
