SHADES

The abbreviation of the disease scientifically classified as "Spielman's Habitual Awareness Deficiency Extension Syndrome." SHADES is a very serious disease. It starts by infecting the host's brain, then slowly flooding it with massive waves of gullibility, naivety, and general dopiness. The disease spreads very slowly. So far, only one person has been officially diagnosed with this disease, but some others are showing early symptoms.
Example 1
Person One: Oh no, I have a math test today!
Person Two: Better take off your SHADES.

Example 2
Person One: Should I pick carrots or cabbages?
Person Two: Without your SHADES on, you could probably decide easier.

shade shaming

Shade shaming: mocking, ridiculing, or teasing someone about the amount of melanin in their skin. #shadeshaming
Examples of shade shaming: You're not black enough. You're SO dark!". You need to cover up those freckles!"

or white people, you know you love this one--"you're so PALE! You need some sun!" And of course, there's the infamous "what ARE you"? The only reason to ask a person "what" they are in terms of race is because you're going to form a new opinion of them based upon their answer, which is...you guessed it...a form of #RACISM.
