Tears for Fears

A suberb, 'soft' rock/pop/light new-wave group from the 80's. They are responsible for such hits like 'I Believe', 'Shout', and 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World', just to name a few. They're thoughtful, oftentimes introspective lyrics and (usually) talented singing and musical prowess helped set them at least a step above many of the bands in the 80's.
Easily one of the best 80's bands, whom just released a new album called Everybody Loves a Happy Ending.

white girl tears

When a white girl (or boy) cries in difficult situations to get themselves out of it and for everybody to comfort them.

Largely seen when the topic of racism is brought up and the white girl refuse to admit that what she did was wrong so she cries in hoping that people will feel sorry for her instead of comforting whoever she offended.

This works most of the time since people are made to feel empathic towards white women who cry, and will tell off whoever hurt her feelings for being such a meanie.
