A privileged white person dressing up and fully embodying a fictionalized version of “black culture” or “the oppressed urban experience,” often involving meticulous adoption of AAVE slang, oversized clothing, rap playlists on repeat, fake tans, cornrows (when daring), and strategic life choices like moving to “diverse” neighborhoods. All combined with roleplaying mannerisms, speech patterns, and performative outrage to immerse themselves in the character. Popular among suburban liberals at PTA meetings, BLM rallies, and college admission strategy sessions. It’s a dedicated hobby focused on accuracy to the stereotype, artistic virtue-signaling, and gaming elite systems, allowing enthusiasts to connect with imagined struggle while boosting their kids’ “diversity points” for schools like UCLA or Harvard.
Unlike regular cosplay, the costume never comes off, it’s a lifestyle commitment. Bonus levels unlocked by sending your white children to predominantly black public schools so they can write tear-jerking essays about “growing up in a marginalized community” despite living in a $1.2M renovated house two blocks away.

That Harrison dad's race cosplay game is god-tier: durag under his Patagonia fleece, blasting Kendrick in his Tesla, lecturing everyone at the craft beer bar about systemic racism while sipping a $14 IPA. Sends his twins to the “authentic” district so they can claim “adversity overcame.” When Stanford waitlists the neighbor’s kid but accepts his: posts rare Pepe with caption “feels good man, diversity win”
3. That dang Harrison couple: they gentrified a block in Oakland, complained about rising rents they caused, adopted a “soul food” Thanksgiving (with Whole Foods ingredients), and shipped Brayden off to a 95% black high school 45 minutes away. His common app essay? “Navigating cultural differences as a minority in my school.” Ivy League full ride secured. Pepe sipping tea: “it’s free real estate”
4. That Harrison kid nailed the race cosplay look: box braids from a Yelp-reviewed salon, “Black Lives Matter” yard sign bigger than the house, and a playlist titled “Woke AF.” Goes to the “diverse” public school while she virtue-signals on Nextdoor about safety concerns. UCLA early decision accept: sad Pepe turns smug “we did it reddit”
