I agree that the label should be used frequently as was done with ‘SoreLoserman’.

Thanks for "keeping it pithy and still getting the point across.

Maybe you can follow up with how nice it would be if many minorities opted to "steal" some White working class attributes....we have the dirt on some Whites who act like minorities to get "special treatments/rights" - the dichotomy of a switcheroo might be fun to explore.

I think it’s an unhealthy, malignant romanticism of the position of underdog - sort of a wistfulness for a piece of that status. It’s also a mental disease or defect if sincere and a scam if false. Very cogent insight, Laz.

LOL!
I’m stealing that.
(Sorry)

[Lazamataz]

I *like* it!

[Lazamataz]

Thank you for your ping list PINGAROOOOOOO! :)

[Lazamataz]

Why not, I stole it myself! :)

It's clever but it doesn't really make sense. pallor [ ˈpalər ] NOUN an unhealthy pale appearance.

Nice way to phrase it.

Oscar Wilde: “I wish I had said that.”

James McNeill Whistler: “You will, Oscar, you will.”

[MrB]

yeah, it’s not much for “depth” on the analogy,
but it’s funny cuz it rhymes and refers to relative reflectivity

[Lazamataz]

I thought about that, but I don’t want to denigrate Riley’s creativity. I do like the alliterative nature of the phrase.

[Riley]

Thank you, Laz.

[Lazamataz]

I’ve submitted this article to four blogs.

That’s because I’m a Published Writer and so much better than you.
