English snobbery versus Irish tradition, science versus faith, a single woman versus a powerful male cohort: conditions could hardly be better for breeding dramatic antagonism, and Lib has no trouble racking up nemeses from the stock cast of small-village types she finds herself thrust among.

But now that we know Trump as more than a real-estate developer, it is hard not to think back to Johnson's infatuation with dictators, his snobbery, his obsession with being noticed, and wonder if they did not have a little more in common than it seemed back then.

Brockhampton have a huge, global army of teen fans of the sort befitting any 'boyband,' and by embracing the term they're also expanding what it means and can be, and ignoring any music press snobbery around boybands, or pop music, or the young fans it tends to attract.

Grammar can seem as technical and off-putting as math or physics to many people who nevertheless can speak, read and write very well, and while some books on language prey on readers' insecurity with lists of word-choice peeves and classist language shibboleths, Crystal efficiently punctures such snobbery.
|

Its portraits of these two working-class Black women have been painted with snobbery and scorn," while Emanuel Levy at Variety wrote that the "characterization of the Black protagonists is so shallow and one-dimensional that if white filmmakers had made the movie they might have been charged with racial stereotyping.

Liam is so good looking that his portrayer, Thomas Doherty, also plays a vampire on the CW.

Amid the legal dictates and the compassionate gestures, there's a smell of snobbery here, such as only England can emit, and a reluctance to confront an ungainly truth: that bookishness and cultivation, so treasured by those who possess them, are no guarantee of human value, let alone of one's status in the eyes of the law.

If part of the supper club's appeal is a yearning for simpler days, we're burdened with the knowledge that nothing was ever that simple, and that what looks from one angle like coziness — a country club that eschews snobbery, exacts no dues and honors the workingman — can from another function as de facto exclusion, however unintended.

Some of the squeamishness she prompted can be attributed to male chauvinism and Tory patrician snobbery; Moore, a right-wing columnist for the Daily Telegraph and a former editor of The Spectator , likes to use this defense when Thatcher is at her most indefensible, soothingly reminding us of her role as the great disrupter of the old boys' club and its afternoon fug.

Goodman, who is generally sympathetic to the proponents of the civic paradigm, is alert to the off notes here of snobbery and disdain: much of the progressive concern about listeners' abilities stemmed from the belief that Americans were, basically, dim-witted—an idea that gained currency after intelligence tests on soldiers during the First World War supposedly revealed discouraging news about the capacities of the average American.

I visited Ruby in Sheffield, England, for a story last year, and she has a new book called "Eat Up."

When they discover the anti-Semitism of Wharton or Dostoyevsky, the racism of Walt Whitman or Joseph Conrad, the sexism of Ernest Hemingway or Richard Wright, the class snobbery of E. M.

But you say most of people in the U.K. get a negative view of the Trump Presidency because, as we here, of the snobbery and bias of much of the British media who look down their noses at Trump because he&aposs a businessman, not a policy (Inaudible), because he likes McDonald&aposs not home cuisine, because he speaks in plain English instead of the high pollutant bureaucratic clap trap you normally get from politicians.

Meanwhile, the front of the house, ruled by Soulé's moody assessments of who mattered and who did not, kept customers in line through what Freedman calls the "intimidating ordeal of trial by snobbery," and replaced the dread of a curdled sauce with the dread of a table in Siberia (a fate visited upon Harry Cohn, the president of Columbia Pictures, when he bought the building that housed Le Pavillon, in the mid-fifties).

Comparisons are constantly drawn between fashion and food in terms of ethics, sustainability, and production practices, but there is also a common, resounding air of snobbery and elitism: Buying ethically-sourced coffee beans and getting your food delivered in a neat little box from Whole Foods is great, sure — but if a struggling mother of four had to choose between that and buying the same things for a third of the price at Fairway, could you judge her for opting for the latter?

This has already come up in a substantive way in the post-election debate about the proper apportionment of "empathy" for those who voted for Trump: Many of the prescriptions to repair understanding between "costal elites" and "rural America" failed to grapple with the fact that most rural and poor people of color didn't vote for Trump, and that nonwhite urban "elites" may have been skeptical of his supporters for reasons that had nothing to do with snobbery and isolation, and everything to do with their own humanity.

Here are just a few of the headlines oozing with know-it-all certainty and elitist environmental snobbery that had all the subtlety of a slap across the face: The fake war on coal: Trump moves to dismantle U.S. climate rules (Salon) Trump's Pro-Coal Orders Are Doomed to Fail (Time) Donald Trump ends 'war on coal' by declaring war on breathable air (Vanity Fair) The implicit and often explicit message in these and many other pieces is that President Trump thinks the coal miners are stupid enough to believe that his executive orders will bring their jobs back when free market forces like automation and cheaper natural gas are the real reasons for the industry's contraction.
