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.

A term that protects cultural assimilators when people speak out against them. Supposedly, defined as the race you feel the most connected to. A person who adopts a racial identity might begin to: speak stereotypically, dress in outdated/ stereotypical clothing, change their physical appearance artificially, or state that they want to be reborn into their racial identity. Typically, but not as the exception, adopters of a racial identity are White American teenagers. Certain laws have been put into place to make it harder to protect your own culture from them.

1: Wassup my Bruther?
2: Why are you talking like that?
1: Cus I'm Black. I just got my results back on 23 and me, and it turns out I'm 30% Northeastern African, so I wanted to embrace my Black culture.
2: Not all Africans are Black, and there are other ways to embrace your heritage.
1: Shut up! You don't understand. Being Black is my racial identity. I'm Black and I've always been Black, Now I just have proof!

A merger of the words "racially" and "marginalized." Refers to someone who is pushed to the fringes of society because of his or her race.
At a debate, one of the participants refused to acknowledge his opponent came from a racialized community, saying instead that racism was a state of mind and not real.
