Tan Pants Man 

Middle aged white males, usually overweight, wear tan pants, plastic-rimmed "aviator" style eyeglasses, computer/electronics nerds. Personal hygiene optional. Button-down shirts, always tucked in. Go for Asian women, any "exotic" type will do, as long as he can be dominant. Mommy Issues. Heavily into cultural appropriation. Can find them in Asian martial arts, drum circles, Asian healing arts, or pushing the cart for their Asian wives in the grocery store. Usually insists on having at least 1 son.
"I knew he'd like Le's sister; he's a tan pants man."

White Man's Tan 

The terrible sunburns that white people get making them wish they had more melanin.
I fell asleep in the tanning bed and got a terrible white man's tan

Anyone (mostly new to America) who preforms yard, or field work with a shirt on, typically a wife beater. The tan left is a manual labor tan. Portugeese or Hispanics are the usualy suspects and makes more sense seeing that their name can be Manny.
"My arms are dark but chest is glow in the dark white, damn Manny tan."

a man who is annoyingly smart and does well in every test without trying
Person 1: Did you hear Andy got full marks on his test and didn’t even revise
Person 2: Yep, he’s such a tanman

One who is neither white nor black, but somewhere in between. Usually, however, the term is used only to refer to people from, or with ancestors from, India.
"Look! It's a tanman!"
"Hey, what's up tanman Tino."
Similarly, "Hey, it's the tan brothers, Tino and Chino."

Usage note: When used between friends, regardless of their racial statuts, it is considered a term of friendship. However, when used incisively, the term is, of course, interpreted in that way.
