A voiceover recording technique used in documentaries on A&E and the History Channel, in which the voiceover artist imitates the presumed foreign accent of the on-screen person whose words he or she is simultaneously translating. This is racist as well as demeaning and insulting to the person depicted, as much as to the voiceover artist.
1. It assumes that the person speaking would only speak English with a thick "foreign" accent if he or she spoke English at all.
2. It assumes that the viewer, besides being too dumb to read subtitles, is also too dumb to guess the nationality or ethnic origin of the speaker.
3. It assumes that the language spoken is so exotic no English-speaking translator could be found to translate it.
4. It tends to show all foreigners (i.e. non-English speaking individuals) as quaint and ignorant.

The racist door is a figurative/metaphorical door that is opened when somebody makes a racist comment. This either allows for further racist comments or it allows for the retort: "You are a racist" or words to that effect, thereby closing the racist door.
Coined on Mock The Week, by Frankie Boyle, when someone made a racist comment against Scotland (his homeland) and he replied: "Thanks for opening the racist door for me."

"Hello children, shall we see what's behind the racist door today? Oh, it's ching chong chinaman."

A temporary state of mind one might enter when dealing with big dick energy, or an African woman who was raised on big dick energy. Used as a pejorative by virtue signalers who want to undermine your confidence, sometimes deservedly, sometimes in a ploy to deprive you of your property by evil means.
