"Lily-white" = loài hoa huệ tây trắng, còn có nghĩa là màu trắng tinh khiết hoặc chỉ những người vô cùng trung thực hoặc cũng chỉ người da trắng.
Ví dụ
It was the moment when the GOP recognized and seated self-styled (tự phong) "lily white" delegations (phái đoàn) from Southern states, including Arkansas, even though black delegates petitioned (cầu xin) to be seated.
It wasn’t obvious why Tylor felt so depressed. Growing up in Pocatello, Idaho, Lacey and Tylor had a fairly happy childhood. Tylor was shy, with lily-white hair and blue eyes. He retreated to the background while their charismatic (hấp dẫn) older brother, Mark, drew the limelight.
Almost 60 years later, after civil rights law (luật dân quyền) and voting rights law, busing and desegregation (sự xoá bỏ nạn phân biệt chủng tộc) of schools and affirmative action and election of the first black president, here we are. In America, in the midst of a pandemic. Smoldering (âm ỉ) again under the oppressive (áp bức) encumbrance of racism, which has barely lifted in its slow path down 25 miles of highway to the lily-white suburbs of America.
