Racial Othering

Racial othering is when white people are treated as the norm, while Black, Indigenous, and people of color are treated as “different.”It stems from a phenomenon called the white default, which defines white people as the standard for behavior, appearance, and culture.

Be Unconditionally Nice to Each Other Day

On December third, everyone is legally required to be unconditionally nice to each other. Anyone who fails to comply will be sentenced to three months of obsessive hugging.
"Man, I'm tired of all of these internet day thingies. Yesterday was skipping school day. The day before was about sending nudes to people who completed NNN. The day before was about stealing hoodies until someone notices. Why can't we have a day where we just do something nice for each other?"
"What if we had a day where we were all just unconditionally nice to each other? It would be called "Be Unconditionally Nice to Each Other Day."
"That sounds really difficult to say, but okay."

Karen-for-others

A middle age white woman with "the haircut" and sunglasses who, contrary to the stereotype, actually expresses compassion and selflessness in her words and actions.
Wow Marcus when your mom asked to speak to the African American manager I thought she was going to complain and make a scene. Instead she complimented the food and decor and asked where she could leave a 5 star review and complimented the picture of his wife he had in his office.

Yeah she's a real Karen-for-others
