A: That's all just white sophism. Try being black and pulled over by a cop. Try being black and applying for a job. Try being black and walking into high-end clothing store.

White Collar's Tan

Light tan specifc to the white collar work person defined by a small triangular shape on the upper chest due to only wearing a dress shirt, polo or any collared shirt, and only rarely being exposed to the sun during a small walking commute to and from the office. The tan can include the area below the sleeves or the hands only (dress shirt) and is often accompanied by a large white line on a wrist due to wearing a large bulky watch to illustrate wealth and prestige. The White Collar's Tan in the male community must be accompanied by fully white legs as shorts are not office attire. The tan is usely rosy as the white collar person has no time to apply suncreen before or after work. The trianular tan below the neck is what separates the white collar's tan from a farmer's tan or any other type of tan.
"Hey man, notice how Justin's been crunching so many numbers and doing overtime this summer that he hasn't had time to take off his office shirt for a proper tan. Dude's rocking a WCT (White Collar's Tan)."

The networking cocktail event went so out of hand that Paul passed-out on his terrace and developed a pronounced white collar's tan. The next week, at a pool party, colleagues commented on his well-defined rose triangle.

"Man I hate working in the construction industry; I'm gonna try to fake a white collar's tan this weekend to try get some greedy chicks."
