Pale Pretense

When a Caucasian person rushes to deem as something racist on behalf of an African American, and by doing so actually perpetuates a racial stereotype.

For example, a comical T-Shirt on sale by Amazon depicting a Tarot Card called “The Tower” (of Pancakes”) with a description of “Black Women’s T-Shirt,” isn’t great grammar, but when the shirt is black in color, it isn’t implying black women fatty up on pancakes or are Voodoo-practicing fortune tellers.

You’ve got it all wrong; it’s just poorly worded and your executing your pale pretense.

Their facebook status said the band was breaking up, so I composted that this was an utter tragedy.
