| 释义 |
Miss Ann is an expression used inside the African-American community, to refer to a white woman (or sometimes a black woman) who is arrogant and condescending in her attitude. The characteristics associated with someone called a "Miss Ann" include being considered "uppity", or in the case of a black woman, "acting white".[1] Like the male counterpart term, Mister Charlie, the term Miss Ann was once common among many African-Americans. It was a pejorative way of commenting on imperious behaviour from white women, particularly when it came with racist undertones. It is seldom used among young African-Americans today.[2] In popular cultureMiss Anne: “A White Woman” —Zora Neale Hurston, Glossary of Harlem Slang Ann; Miss Ann: Coded term for any white female.
