A relatively new word in the psychology world, it's not in the DSM-IV-TR (a book that a couselor would use for a diagnosis). People pleasers are doormats who let high expectations, resentment, and saying yes when they mean no run their lives. They are set on being perfect and nice. It affects mostly women because they are socialized to do for other people instead of for themselves. This has also been linked to codependence.
Woman 1: "Let's ask Kate to do the bake sale. She never says no."
Woman 2:"She's such a people pleaser."

Get the people pleasermug. Blacks.
While the phrase has long been used as an interpersonal generalization, it has become known as a racial epithet targeted to blacks only recently. The earliest documentation of this meaning that I can find is from 1992, when presidential candidate Ross Perot was chided for telling an NAACP audience about financial hardships befalling "your people."

Willie Clark, president of the N.A.A.C.P. branch in San Bernadino, Calif., said the overall tone of Mr. Perot's remarks and particularly his use of the phrase "your people" reflected how culturally out of touch he was with his audience.
"When he said 'you people' or 'your people,' it was like waving a red flag in front of a bull," he said. "It's something white folks have used when they don't want to call you nigger, but they don't want to treat you like an equal."

Get the you peoplemug. Used to describe korean immigrants who use to migrate to America on boats, which was met with hostility as all immigrants usually from asia are... you may or may not remember a reality show on which a non-racist girl heatedly called a korean guy "a fresh off the boat f*cking korean immigrant." <--- bad woman.

Get the british peoplemug. Black racist: "god I hate white people"
White guy: "and why is that? because some dumbass insulted you? because other whites did some shitty stuff? i'm sorry but black people have done shitty stuff as well, so have asians, hispanics, etc. The problem isn't white people, the problem is us, humanity, we are a group of stupid, shitty, greedy, rats that are slowly killing ourselves and destroying the planet, while some people like you are too fucking concerned insulting a group of people because they're some how responsible for pieces of shit that have the same skin color"
