Why do British people hate their own poor people so much? - Lemmy.World

In the UK, there is a slur for poor people, “chav”. I remember doing an assignment on how each demographic was viewed in the UK, and I recall stumbling upon a lot of posts where people on forums would go into detail about how they’d love to torture “chavs” to death. Nowhere in the US have I found such open vitriol for poor people.
