Internalised misogyny

Bringing other women/girls down.

'I'm not like other girls, I don't go shopping. I just watch Netflix with my dog.'

The person who claims to watch Netflix with her dog is bringing the 'other girls' down, by shaming them for going shopping. This is called internalised misogyny
'All of the other girls have make-up and look so fake. I don't do that, I'm different.'
'That's internalised misogyny my dude.'

Internalized racism

The phenomenon that occurs when victims of racism, through coercion or conditioning, turn racist attitudes and actions in against themselves or their racial/ethnic group.

Predominantly occurs with Asian females.
Internalized racism involves using racist terms against other members of the same racial/ethnic group; placing higher values on members who appear or act more like the dominant group, i.e. valuing people who appear more 'white'.
