When something “is small beans”, it is not as significant of a problem or achievement, when compared to something else.

“Mspec” is another term for “bisexual”, which means not exclusively attracted to any gender.
“Lesbian” means a woman exclusively attracted to any gender.
As such, an “mspec lesbian” is a woman who is not a lesbian but wants to culturally appropriate lesbians. This is clear from how self-proclaimed “mspec lesbians” try to justify their contradictory label by claiming that they are connected to lesbian culture.

Just as Affirmative Action intends to correct for racial inequality by advantageously treating racial minorities, Affirmative Racism intends to correct for racial inequality by discriminating against the majority race (i.e. white people in most environments where Affirmative Racism occurs). Affirmative Racism is often displayed by the same people saying that you can't be racist against white people.
"It seems like there's now a fair amount of vitriol, online and offline, towards anything that white people say, make, and do. Why's that?"
"It's called Affirmative Racism, and it's a signature move of identity politicians."

The act of columbusing refers to being the first (famous) white person to “discover” something or somewhere that non-white people (and some white people) have known for a while. Popularized in a CollegeHumor skit, it references how Columbus is credited for “discovering” the New World in 1492, although there were already ingenous people on there, and besides, vikings had already reached the Americas centuries before.
Twerking has been around since at least the 90s, but it only entered the public conscious after Miley Cyrus got away with columbusing it.
