I was described as being ‘uppity’ on more than one occasion in my salad days. Especially in my youth by coaches and teachers; it was one of my mother's favorite retorts to mine, and my siblings, otherwise presumptuousness, as well.
I grew up in Michigan. Maybe it’s local.
I have no idea whether or not this instance of its use was racists. Though to make a very big deal of this verbiage seems to be begging the question or issue, as it were, in this electrically charged political season. A whole thread?
…my humble opinion.
