The author relies far too much on written references.  Referring to kal folks as weenies was common before the 1980’s.  When I was on campus in the mid-1970’s they were called weenies.  There was the weenie cheer at Big Games:

The Weenies, the Weenies
Beat Beat
The Weenies!

Raucous, vivid memories of that one.
And it should clarify the origin or metaphor or significance or analogy or...what-have-you. In particular, usage of "beat".
