Preferential Racist 

Someone who is against racism towards specific racial group(s) they like, but also advocates for and/or encourages racism against different particular racial group(s) they don't like. The preferential racist tries to hide behind the fact they are against racism only partially as long as it is towards racial groups they prefer, and in doing so they think they are somehow granted special privileges that make it okay for them to be racist towards racial groups they don't prefer. Additionally they will often use nonsense mental gymnastics and fallacious reasoning to blame the problems of racial group(s) they like on the racial groups they don't like as a way to disguise and legitimize their racism. They are hypocrites and ironically, racist.
Preferential Racist: We need to finally have a conversation about the racism towards racial group X. Other racial group Y is inherently bad and the root of all of their problems!
Rationalist: By have a conversation you actually mean you just want us to receive your blessed wisdom through a monologue in which your aim is to convert us to your nonsense ideology. If any of us disagree with you, you will just call us racist, accuse us of being part of the problem, and put us in a box of one of the racial groups you don't like. So you don't actually want to have a conversation. Anything that can be seen as racial progress is something that will be talked around, instead of celebrated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
