Ethnically-challenged
QUASI-POLITICALLY CORRECT TERM FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNABLE TO CONFORM TO A HOST COUNTRY’S NORMS -- I.E. UNABLE TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE, THE SOCIAL CUSTOMS/MANNERS, OR OBSERVE THE LAWS OF THE LAND -- THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY PREVALENT IN ‘HYPHENATED-AMERICANS’ WHO AS EITHER ETHNIC OR CULTURAL MINORITY GROUPS FEEL THAT THERE PRIVILEGED STATUS MAKES THEM EXEMPT FROM FITTING IN -- AS OPPOSED TO THE ‘MELTING POT’ THEORY TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS UP TO THE 1980s (WHERE EACH PART OF OUR SOCIETIES MAKE UP BROUGHT SOME FLAVOR TOGETHER TO THE STEW) WE ARE NOW IN A CLIMATE OF ‘RAINBOW DIVERSITY’ WHERE EACH COLOR IS BESIDE EACH OTHER BUT DISTINCT AND SEPERATE.
CAN INCLUDE THE ‘UGLY AMERICAN’ WHO OUTSIDE THE U.S. CANNOT UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS ARE DIFFERENT ELSEWHERE AND THAT THOSE COUNTRIES HAVE THE DISTINCT CHOICE TO DECIDE HOW THEY WISH TO LIVE, AND DON’T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE WELCOMING TO OUTSIDERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO LEARN TO CONFORM TO THEIR SOCIETAL NORMS.

Pink Cloud
12 step recovery jargon referring to someone new who talks about how great life is, now that they're sober. Usually meaning that the person is out of touch with reality.

Striver
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.
The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.
The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.
