amen baiting

The strategy to push social media engagement by coming up with content meant to trigger a seemingly unconscious response to comment the word "amen", like or share.

This is typically seen amongst Filipino Facebook users and is something the foreign content creators who are fond of "pinoy baiting" content have not been capitalizing at the time of this writing.

Content creators and traditional media companies in the Philippines often use amen baiting content to boost their engagement as the dominantly Catholic social media capital of the world just can't help but comment "amen".

Race Baiting

A term used by white people to dismiss criticism and objection to racist policies or racial discrimination; attempting to discrediting the critic as a person inciting racial tension when none (supposedly) actually exists. Functionally equivalent to a Red Herring designed to distract the audience from the real issue (IE pre-existing racial tension).

Essentially, use of the phrase indicates a desire to stop discussions of racial tension. Probably because they make white people feel really uncomfortable.

"Why is it cops harass black people so much more than white people?"

"Stop trying to rile people up! You're just Race Baiting!"
