blackface adjacent

The use of a tasteless caricature of a group of people that isn't quite as racist as blackface, but is still pretty racist, classist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, etc.

To help raise money for the homeless Melinda and Bill Gates spent the night sleeping in a cardboard box on the streets of downtown Seattle. Some passersby viewed this as an exercise in empathy, while others condemned it as a blackface adjacent publicity stunt.

Adjacent to the Truth

Yes. I was guilty, but only for telling the truth.

I was recently reprimanded by an English teacher, who stated that the phrase “adjacent to the truth” has no meaning and therefore does not exist in the English language ..!
So, does being “adjacent to the truth” exist within the English language..?

Or, have I invented a new English phrase ..?
