I actually tried to end the argument, but you persist, so how is stigma not derogatory?
Oh, sorry, that's sardonic and not worthy of a response, so I'll answer for you:
It isn't.
In case you want to argue that point, I'll leave you with the definition of stigma:

But, yes, you are absolutely, incontrovertibly, correct, we are not a poor blue collar city, we are a poor white collar city.
Can we end this now?
