Racism Everywhere Syndrome (RES)

Racism Everywhere Syndrome (RES) is an informal term used to describe a phenomenon in which an individual interprets neutral or innocent subjects as racist due to their own subconscious associations. Instead of recognizing the thought as originating from themselves, the person externalizes it and labels the subject as racist.

Definition

RES has been described as a type of cognitive projection, where one’s own implicit associations are attributed to an outside object, character, or symbol. Proponents of the term argue that a truly non-racist individual would not make such associations in the first place.

Characteristics

Typical features of RES include:

Overinterpretation: assigning racist intent to symbols, colors, or characters with no evidence of such intent.

Projection: transferring one’s own subconscious thought onto an external subject.

Moral signaling: publicly accusing neutral subjects of racism as a way of demonstrating personal anti-racist values.

Examples

Interpreting a fictional character’s dark fur, clothing, or traits as racist stereotypes, despite no evidence of authorial intent.

Viewing ordinary colors, shapes, or symbols as inherently racist.

“Claiming that chess is racist because the white pieces move first is just another case of RES.”
“She said that a coffee shop menu was racist because it uses the term ‘black coffee.’ She definitely suffers from Racism Everywhere Syndrome (RES).”

Minimus Puer syndrome

A person with MPS (Minimus Puer syndrome) often misdiagnose themselves with ADHD or Anxiety as they have no capabilities to reflect on themselves or be emotionally mature enough to realise that they're actions were incorrect.
A person with MPS is typically quite selfish, often victimizes themselves unintentionally or intentionally; they find difficulty focusing and often lack a work ethic. Many people with MPS are also diagnosed with Dyscalcula.

"I think that Anna has Minimus Puer Syndrome: she's quite selfish, and always victimises herself; She can't take accountability for her own actions when she is very clearly in the wrong, and she knows it. Have you seen the way she turned the friend group against me?"

Nivarra syndrome

Dropping awkward references to Jewish culture and history into the conversation to pretend not to be anti-Semitic (e.g., “I mentioned the Chofetz Chaim,” “I showed the students a film by Lenì Riftenstahl”). Named after Nivarra, a professor at the University of Palermo, who authored an anti-Semitic post on Facebook in August 2025, which was followed by a clumsy and unconvincing apology.

“He calls to exclude all the Jews, yet he pretends not to be antisemitic. He must have Nivarra syndrome”. “You cancel me from your contacts list because I am Jewish? What you have, Nivarra syndrome?”
