Not at all, simply an ironic and hasty generalization utilized to
underscore a point about prejudice. Some people who wear tattoos wouldn't
be caught dead in a suit and a tie. Some people who wear suits and ties
wouldn't be caught dead with a tattoo. Some sneetches have stars on their
bellies and some sneetches don't. No value judgment whatsoever. Simply an
observation about how trivial the things are that we insist on identifying
ourselves with and then furiously defending said "props" in lieu of any
saliable point worth debating.
