White man's burden

Adjective in context of Caucasian people experiencing discrimination as a minority in Asia. A sarcastic term used to connote cultural barriers faced by Caucasian who are stereotyped as being more polite, upscale, wealthy than non Caucasian locals, thus being burdened with living up to false stereotypes.
White man's burden is like a Caucasian being burdened with stereotypes of whiteness, like you are supposed to be rich, polite, and nice like white people seen on TV

Man in the costume

Figuratively it refers to a well known truth behind some concept (for example, "santa isnt real") that we collectively decide to ignore, because it ruins the fun.

It's in reference to mascot costumes worn by some poor soul to appease the masses, for example the underpaid part-timers staffing the costumes at disneyland

It's like, as a kid, pulling the "no, you didint just kill me cause we are just pretending" card when playing pretend on a playground

Alternatively, man behind the mask
Weeb A: you do know that most weebs are ironic about waifus, right? Only a relatively small amount of weebs actually think stuff like "this fictional high schooler is the love of my life".
Weeb B: Can we please stop talking about the man in the costume and get back to arguing about which underage girl is hotter?
