A person of a visible minority group who hates members of his/her own ethnicity and his/her own culture in general.
Killmanjaroos often have not been taught to speak the language of their native culture, and often possess little or no real knowledge of their background, customs and traditions. Because of this, Killmanjaroos relate more with Western culture and adjust their behaviour, clothing and speech to try to fit in. But since their physical appearance still identifies them as members of a visible minority, and they cannot alter that, Killmanjaroos are unable to fit in 100%. This in turn is a source of endless frustration.
Killmanjaroos' anger is directed at their native culture and religion, because they believe that is solely to blame for their inability to fit into mainly Caucasian Western crowds. They will go out of their way to debase members of their own faith and immigrants from their own native country.

An idiom that means inexperienced or naive.
Its meaning comes from a baby that has just been born and is still wet "behind the ears" among other places.
This term might alternatively have originated on the farm, as it is said that after birth the last part of a foal or calf to dry is the area behind its ears.
