Rapewashing

The denial of ones racist prejudices by attributing them to the sympathy for rape victims.

“I’m not racist, I just don’t want them damn Somalis coming here to rape our women”
"That argument is complete rapewashing"

Pinkwashing

Riding on the LGBT rights while promoting ones political hatred.
E.g. Anti-immigration and far-right groups performing “gay pride” events at locations with a large Muslim population to insult Muslims or to expose alleged anti-gay hostility among Muslims.

"Are those Neo-Nazis campaining for LGBT rights?"
"They're just pinkwashing again"
