Whitesplain

when a white person tries to “explain” racism, oppression, or cultural dynamics to people of color — especially in a way that’s condescending, dismissive, or rooted in white-centered perspectives rather than lived experience.

He really tried to tell a Black woman what racism feels like. The audacity. Classic whitesplain.

Whitesploitation 

A genre of art, film, literature that exploits the culture of white people for commercial gain or to explore underlying social problems. Much as Blaxsploitation did in the 1970's, Whitesploitation may use stereotypes such as white trash, red necks, the suburban nuclear family, hippies, refined urban dwellers and hipsters. Themes may include drugs, gentrification, culture vacuum, race guilt, and uptight people.

There's a new Whitesploitation film about a suburban family.
