Wow, it really explained a lot. You are right, to me a white redneck, a black thug, and a latino laborer were equivalent stereotypes and in regular society there were equals black, latino and white people outside of it. Thank you very much, and sorry that i´ve made you lose your time writing so much. I am brazilian. I don´t know what my ethnicity would be in the american race system, just that i am not white. I like the immigrant TF just like you like the redneck one. What about Guidos or Chavs?

You’re welcome, I’m glad I could help clear all that up. You would (depending on look and ancestry) probably be considered either Latino or black, but more than anything else, just not white. As for guidos and chavs, the first would be a distinction of class, but not a racial cateogry in the United States. In some areas of Europe being of Italian decent would be enough to render someone excluded from the white racial category and it’s privileges however. As for chavs, that’s a harder one, because it’s actually a British term which some have begun to appropriate here in the United States. That said, it’s always classist. In Britian, it refers to lower, working class youth dressing in sportwear with bling; in the United States however, it has taken on something closer to the term “wigger,” i.e. a white guy who acts and dresses like a black thug. However, because they can still access white privilege, it doesn’t make it an issue of racism, though it is certainly a point of white people inappropriately appropriating the cultures of others.
