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.

Racial Identity

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 A person who adopts a racial identity might begin to: speak stereotypically, dress in outdated/ stereotypical clothing, change their physical appearance artificially, or state that they want to be reborn into their racial identity.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.
