self racist

when yourself makes fun of your own race

When an individual consciously or unconsciously ousts themselves or says somethings self deprecating in a racially charged fashion. This more often times than not is unfortunately due to lots of childhood trauma associated with racist microaggressions and not being properly stood up for nor helped. This phenomenon is extremely common amongst generations that grow up in the “I’m not racist but “world of yesteryear. in other words, chances were pretty slim for a child to get proper help from an adult when being made fun of for their race. Some individuals coped with this problem via internalizing the messaging around them and succumbing to the messaging from both adults and children alike, that “Jimmy is just joking “, leading them to believe that their gut instincts about this being offensive is just them being oversensitive, as this is a fairly common response to consistent violation of boundaries in general.

Not everyone who has experienced such trauma end up re-projecting the ideologies incidentally used against them, but the definition of someone who is being self racist and someone, due to these traumas, develop the maladaptive coping mechanism of “going along with it “so to speak. childhood bullying sucks.
