Miss Ann

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".

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 actions and attitudes from white women, particularly when such behavior came with racist undertones. It is seldom used by young African Americans today; instead, the similar term Karen has become popular among Americans of all races.
