Racial Apathy

Racial apathy is a form of emotional neglect toward Black, Indigenous, and people of color rooted in the biased belief that we do not feel pain. When people are viewed as "less human", it becomes easier to neglect their pain.

The way the media view wars, disasters, and viruses in predominantly white areas as more worthy of media coverage than those affecting areas where communities of color reside is a clear sign of racial apathy.

Racially Confused

Caucasians who proclaim to be of a race that they do not belong to (neither racially nor culturally)

Examples of Caucasians who claim to be black: Barack Obama, Marcus Samuelson, Langston Hughes, Ayo Edibiri

Examples of Caucasians who claim to be Asian: All of India

Example of Caucasians who claim to be Native American: Indians who have a whole extra bone in their forehead and wield SPEARS and hokey fake tattoos in jungles that have long been cleared away to make way for the cattle industry (bye bye Amazon and weird ass Caucasians with SIDs)
Barack HUSSEIN Obama claimed to be black?

Oh hell nah, that racially confused spicy Caucasian has never left India!

Racial peacekeepers

The preachers, pastors and community leaders who always rush out after a racially charged incident against african-americans to calm people and direct them to forgive or embrace their attackers. These individuals decide to represent all african-americans in the community, but often act hypocritically for their own benefit to establish a national profile and win influence among the african-american community for future church donations. They are noticeably absent when the violence does not have racial overtones.
Oh boy, here come the racial peacekeepers with their ridiculous speeches about Christian forgiveness after the skinhead killed 12 people. I just can't with these guys. Bible ballers, pastor pimps, pastors, preachers, community organizers, religion, church, African-American

Racial Othering

Racial othering is when white people are treated as the norm, while Black, Indigenous, and people of color are treated as “different.”It stems from a phenomenon called the white default, which defines white people as the standard for behavior, appearance, and culture.

It bothers me when people ask me "Where are you REALLY from?" It's a form of racial othering.
