Class clown is definitely center of attention, but quirkiness is more the playfully anonymous scribblings on the insides of the desks.

Yeah Jim Carrey would go against the point I made about subdued. I think the louder and more obvious it becomes, the less quirky and more zany it becomes.
edit: that said I admire Jim Carrey.

in europe we think of them as among the least exotic of the whites. spanish people do bullfighting and flamenco so they would probably be up there. also they have festivals where they hurl live goats from the tops of tall towers etc

But I think Carrey is maybe an example of a quirky extrovert. Maybe thats it. Maybe I just strongly associate quirkiness with introversion.

A good number of the films I mentioned involve characters that are somewhat antisocial or socially awkward but in charming ways.

I was playing as the overly crass american position where the spanish would not be considered white.

I should look into the druids.
There's an untapped genre: Druid Quirk.

Plus there are all those Eastern European animated films that I would describe as quirky. Svankmeier, etc.

its whiteness as americaness. this position looks at france and can still recognize itself, if only a bit. Theyre right at the threshold. Theres a mythology around spain, italy, eastern europe that disqualifies them

But I think some degree of alienation is required for quirkiness.

This I would agree with, in the case of those films I had in mind. But still, a healthily sublimated alienation can manifest as quirkiness.

the detachment needed to be ironic and eccentric
