melanin deficient

A term used on Twitter, roughly translating to: "I'm white, but I don't want to *sound* white."

Though Melanin Deficiency is a condition for Albinism, (Albino People), White girls uses it as a secretive way of saying that they're white.

Person A: Alyssa claims that she's Melanin Deficient, but she's actually just white.

Alyssa: My African American colleagues, as a Melanin Deficient human being, I am sorry on behalf of white people.
