latent racism

The type of racist beliefs held by someone or a group of people when exposed to some kind of moral panic or shock events that otherwise isn't displayed. Usually it is internal racism from people with plenty of diversity in their life, within their friend group or living in diverse society/neighbourhoods. They are usually online and rarely spoken.

Especially evident during wars, after terror attacks, riots, etc etc.

Closely related to concept of speaking the truth only when drunk / revealing one's face when high.

Also very often held by ethnic minorities against other ethnic minorities in the country.

late onset redneck syndrome

a condition where someone (often a boy/ man) has some form of country background but it doesn’t manifest until triggered by either severe trauma or grief at the ages 16-50. Takes 4-12 months to fully run its cycle. Currently incurable. Defined by 4 stages:

Stage 1: Painful event happens to patient.. someone puts them on country music. Stage 1 consists of discovering country music and 1-5 artists they like.

Stage 2: 1-3 months of country music leads to a lifestyle change… different speech, accent, minor aesthetic changes. Drinking cold beer is not mandatory, but often accelerates progress. Some people stay here for years. others progress further.

Stage 3: If yet another event occurs, and country music or life yet again is used to recover, then they will fall deeper into the redneck lifestyle.. more severe lifestyle changes include buying a pickup truck, buying a diesel pickup, talking about pickup trucks, and buying their first pair of cowboy boots. Also includes raving about coors beer.

Stage 4: The person has made full transformation to a redneck, at least in some capacity. They will always love the life in the country, and the taste of coors beer on a friday night. Texas roadhouse is a first choice forever.
