DID YOU KNOW:

The term, "White Collar" is a reference dating back to the times of slavery. Originally "White Color," it was a term used to describe superiority, as in white folks being superior to black folks.

As America became more diverse and more sophisticated in its business options, those working in offices or doing physically light work were considered "White Color" workers, compared to the inferior workers who were considered to be doing "poor" or "black color" jobs.

As the days of segregation came and went, America took a more friendly adjustment to the terms, replacing "Color" with "Collar," and replacing "Black" with "Blue."
