No, it's not a statement that all working class are chavs. Chavs are a subset of the working class, so one must be working class to be a chav, but one isn't necessarily a chav because one is working class.

The objection that some people have to this term is that it is a derogatory comment that can only potentially apply to a member of the working class so it is seen as being a "classist" term. Some feel that it is an attempt to "keep people in their place".

Most of the people I have seen object to chav very happily use terms like trustafarian without a trace of irony.
