shade room

When someone is obviously of mixed race and not as black as others the darker person might refer to the mixed person as being in the ‘shade room’ inferring that it’s nicer there.

Mixed: “Dude, I got pulled over last night and they went through all my shit. They lemme off w/a warning though...”
Dark: “Maaaaaan...must be nice livin’ in the ‘Shade Room’”
