asymptomatic racism
A type of racism where people don't appear on the surface to themselves to be racist but advantage by and may support racist policy and institutional racism. A asymptomatic racist may justify such behavior under another guise of supporting policies such as law and order (to support LE officers profiling, selective enforcement of laws, brutal and inhumane police tactics), the right to protect one's self when threatened by people who are stereotyped as threatening, to win the war on drugs, and to assure people don't have unfair employment opportunities, against welfare because it destroys the incentive to work, assume some people are characteristically inferior, unfair business practices that target minorities, living in like minded highly segregated communities, etc.
Another asymptomatic symptom is when they do not say anything or attempt to prevent racist practices, and often have a personal benefit from allowing them to continue.
In some cases asymptomatic racism may be highly viable to the victims but not to those of the same race. For example, when someone touches their wallet when they see a minority, when a black person is not invited to a party because they may not fit in, when a person of another race is not given a supervisor position because of potential conflicts.

Arguing with someone with asymptomatic racism is difficult since they don't experience it and can't comprehend what a victim of the racism go through. However, they may actively resist any attempts toward equality or mitigating past racist practices such as affirmative action.

retail bros
Exuberant small short term investors in the stock market that pursue get-rich-quick dreams. Dumb small time investors filled with with a passionate intensity of a sports better., and the brains of a bubble head.
The retail bros are on the move, investing so much in duds that the worst possible investments work for those that by low and quickly sell high, but a bust for long term investors.
