The precise case in question:

> "more fragile white males with degrees from Princeton"

That specific language recasts (in my mind) people I might have seen as extremely confident extroverts. At this point in life, I think that the "recast" take is more accurate than the way I used to see them, but it's not something I'd have come to spontaneously. Encountering language like this helps to raise questions about what is really driving people, whether or not my own answers to that question are correct.
