The disdain, distrust, and dehumanisation aimed at lads in tracksuits, gold, and caps - the classic white, working-class British outfit, is absurd. Restaurant bans on these clothes are just a thinly veiled way of saying “white, working-class lads are not welcome here.” People talk with such hostility you’d think their families were devoured by tracksuit wearers, yet it’s this very British working class that fundamentally built modern Britain.

(the typical getup of a white, working-class British lad)
You perpetuate it yourself.

It is the typical getup among white, working-class British lads, though. Just like in an American suburb, the typical getup would probably be something like a T-shirt and a pair of shorts.

I’m not debating you on fashion choices. I’m pointing out that you yourself use class to describe folks. You can’t fight against the class system when you write of “working class” yourself. And in a way that answers your question: it is ingrained in people.

They might even wear gasp underwear and socks. The monsters!

It’s the getup of the average white working class lad. Are you suggesting that the working class are all into drug-dealing?
11 daysAre you suggesting an entire group of people dress all the same all the time in a way that nobody else dresses like?

The Working Class who built Britain would have thrashed anyone who dared come to the dinner table in a tracksuit.

I didn’t realise you couldn’t post to multiple communities to get a wider array of answers, unless I’m misunderstanding you.

You’re insinuating that brown people who wear track suits to restaurants dont get thrown out. And you are a silly racist. Probably an incel too
Oh hey, welcome back. You’re on this again, with yet another sockpuppet? Canal drownings got boring?
OMG it’s THAT guy? I’m going to have to change the “Chav” tag I gave him. Maybe “Soggy Chav.”

The people who built modern brittain didn’t have gold and tracksuits didn’t exist yet. The chavs that wear those outfits may or may not be descendants of the people who built modern Brittain, but that is irrelevant. They are being judged based on their behavior.

Chav is a slur, not a subculture. It’s derogatory shorthand for the white working class.

Bullshit, the ones that dress like you describe are hardly ever working

You’re talking about capital I Italians. Anyone else rocking that look is stealing it from the I Ties.

No thank you, I prefer to live in a world of Italians being the only whites allowed to wear track suits fashionably. Regardless of the truth of the matter.
