Holland Patent

Small ass town in Upstate New York neighboring Marcy, Stittville, and Barnaveld where shit goes down. Not many people live there, but there's enough to have it's own school district. There's like two main streets with houses on them, and that consists of the town's main population. In the summer, real niggas chill in the tiny ass park by the fire department and sometimes they walk up to Miller jump off the bridge into the scummy ass water below. In the winter, they snowmobile, and well that's about it considering the fact it's well, it's in the middle of scenic nowhere. All in all, the people from the area are pretty nice and chill people.
Guy 1: Hey, you going to Holland Patent?
Guy 2: No? What's to do there? It's in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere.
Guy 1: Yeah, but the niggas there are pretty chill.
Guy 2: I guess. Let's turn up.

Paternal racism

A form of racism exhibited by those who think that because a minority has suffered in the past, they are immediately less capable of logic, rationality, character, and success. Someone who is paternally racist thinks that due to these perceived shortcomings, minority members need constant hand-holding and affirmation in order to make it. Paternal racists will often believe they know what's best for minorities and feel very comfortable speaking for entire minority groups. This stems from their inability to acknowledge that minority individuals are just as capable and competent as them. Paternal racism is frequently witnessed in individuals who are over-eager to prove to others how non-racist they are. Paternal racism is superficially well-intentioned, but in reality thrives on categorizing minorities as lesser beings. It perpetuates the damaging stereotype that minorities are less capable and need help for everything.
