Cavalier means snobby. Someone who is cavalier has a bad attitude and regards other people as inferior.
The word cavalier dates from mid-16th-century French, from the Latin caballus, meaning “horse.” If you have a cavalier attitude, you look down on other people — as if you are sitting on a very tall horse and other people are sitting down there on the ground.
