colorism

A theoretical sub-tier of racism that is both invented by and about non-white people who are too scared of calling themselves racist.

Also used to accuse non-racist people of racism without using the word itself.

Person 1: They cast people of color in this movie.
Person 2: But the director employed colorism; all the actors are white!
Person 1: But they're literally Native American and Brazilian...
