Do Americans have the equivalent of an English 'chav'?

Answer 1

All the people saying "trailer trash" are wrong, and need to look up what Chavs are.

We call them wiggers in the states.  White people who act black.  They wear trackies and lots of bling, and are basically scum that leech off of society.

Yes.  I think they are called Rednecks.
