[quote=Anonymous]Would put these terms in a nature/nurture context. First generation arrival, doesn’t speak English, successful in home country “strives” to reclaim that success in America. Positive implication of striver. Average American spends all their time studying trying to make the best of their situation at the expense of foregoing a balanced life. Negative implication of striver. Grinder is someone who again tries to make the most of their natural ability. Positive or negative implication will be based on totality of lifestyle. Curator, someone with the resources to create the illusion of competency. Can get you in the door but eventually the illusion falls apart. [/quote]
