Yes, but 'chav' is a word which is a slur in and of itself, not a name. I would certainly never refer to someone as an "aunt Jemima" because that would clearly be a slur, but the name by itself, thoroughly removed from the context in which it was used as a slur, doesn't carry the same weight.

I'm struggling to articulate exactly what I mean, but I feel like insisting that the name should be off-limits everywhere is spreading the slur further rather than getting rid of it?
