Someone who you coauthor with who has a marginalized racial identity (e.g. BIPoC), in order to credibly discuss race issues as a white person. Could equally apply to people of marginalized gender identity or sexual orientation (see queer beard).
That guy only writes with so-and-so so he can talk about racy topics without being attacked, and get into those progressive journals! I would go as far to say he's using them as a race beard...

The crusty deposit left around the mouth in the morning after dribbling into your beard during sleep.

Grown facial hair that is attached to the face through follicles in the skin found mostly in most male homo sapiens. Not much different than a Beard, the Beard-Mask is instead used for reasons classically inconsistent with historical practices such as; protecting the face from harsh elements, religious practices, being unable to shave from lack of resources, and mere preference. Instead, a Beard-Mask is grown to cover any number of jarring inconsistencies to the face or emotional well-being of its wearer. These reasons include: Covering the ravages of pubescent acne scars. Physical deformation of the face or neck. Having a baby-face, or youthfully juvenile appearance. Double Chin. Perceived Unattractiveness. Overall Unattractiveness. Low/ Non-Existent self-esteem.
Matt definitely wears that creepy beard-mask to cover his toxic self-esteem, not to mention, those giant welts from acne and poor hygiene.
