Marginalized Sexting 

When an individual tries to send nudes, partial nudes, or otherwise scandalous photos to another individual though their sexual advances are thwarted due to discrimination based off arbitrary factors.
“Damn my boy really caught up in that marginalized sexting. Too bad that chick he was trying to get with was a racist.”

Marginalize 

If you're a black guy, a Jew, or a Mexican/Latin American, the police are going to act a little different when they get a call about you versus one about other groups. It's really a matter of what somebody looks like and not where the call was made.
Really the rest of us are together in this to marginalize Black people, Jews, and Mexicans/Latin Americans is what it seems like. The rest of us almost made the Indians disappear already, and don't treat Black people, Jews, or Mexicans/Latin Americans much better most of the time, day to day.

Marginalized 

A fancy word people of certain groups like to throw around to sound like they’re actually talking about something important, but mostly talking about one or two incidences, rather than the interaction most people experience.
Bethany: Our people are being Marginalized!
Grace: what does that word even mean?
Bethany: I don’t know, it just sounds good!

Functional marginalized whiner 

A black kid that never once got their ass whooped as a kid, but somehow all they can talk about is how much harder it is to be them than it is to have lighter (especially pale) skin (usually to try and walk over or manipulate people that experience has taught them tend to be easier to manipulate than their own people).
All the functional marginalized whiner did was complain about how immature and dysfunctional all these so called privileged whites got to be, if only he/she could act that way like he/she wished for as a kid (as the stereotype goes, all the blond kids were having all the fun).
