Note, this says “connotations of low social status.” The “urban black” culture usually has this same connotation. It isn’t a rule that people from either of these groups have low social status, it’s just associated with it. This is not racist, though the association could be viewed as problematic, but that is a cultural issue, not an issue with what the user above said.

That’s the dictionary definition of Chav:
a young person of a type characterized by coarse and brash behavior (with connotations of low social status).

They didn’t say urban. They said act and dress like a black guy. What do you think “acting and dressing like a black guy” means, exactly?

Sounds like you have an idea of what it means to you and are trying to foist that upon others.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
