I've seen many posts like this on forums, but "chavs" is sometimes replaced with other words, including "blacks".
What are "PC types"? People who support political correctness? Something that has caused people to be more considerate of others? Yeah, what a terrible thing that is. Cue examples of "political correctness gone mad!", lol.

The reason for prejudice is not human nature. It's largely propagated via fear-mongering from the mass media and government, as well as things being considered societal norms of the time. There is nothing innate that makes a person paranoid of a group of teenagers on the street if they're wearing particular clothing, in fact, that is wholly irrational.
