Liberal arts 360

When students of a liberal arts college do a 360 degree scan to make sure that someone they know doesn't sneak up on them and eavesdrop on a conversation (read: gossip) about them, since apparently liberal arts colleges are tiny and you're always at risk of someone you don't like running into you
Kayleigh: Did you hear what Ashley did at the frat party last night!

Megan: Girl hold up! We go to Oberlin where there's less than 3000 people on campus and everyone knows each other! Do the liberal arts 360 first to make sure no one listens in!

passive liberalism

when white people partake in performative liberalism and use it as an excuse to be subconsciously racist towards their non white peer/friend. usually from the midwest but doesn't have to be. also, usually among the white alternative crowd, predominantly. they make being "liberal" an aesthetic on social media platforms, when in reality, they just need to learn to recognize their implicit bias when their poc friends try and correct them.

they also compare themselves to trump supporters to justify their implicit racism.
they generally fall in the white alternative crowd. they enjoy anime, kpop, weed, indie music, skateboarding, frank ocean, as much as the next alternative person. but they are not as educated or self aware as they could be. a majority of them do hail from breadbasket states. the main reason for this is that midwestern states are by majority, white. so when passive liberalists branch out (for college or other reasons), they have already developed a subconsciously racial superiority complex. surprisingly, a trump supporting white girl from soCal may be less subconsciously racist than a white person from Ohio or Minnesota.

* this is not about all white people, just the ones who choose not to educate themselves.
example 1:

Sally: I put blm in my bio and listen to Green Day on repeat, of course im not racist.

Lucy: yeah but when Chenelle dated Ryan after you did, you became super passive aggressive towards her. You even ended things with him and acted so weird towards Chenelle.. Yet when Kenzie dated him, you didn't care.

Sally: what are you implying?

Lucy: You subconsciously view yourself as superior to Chenelle, our Hispanic friend, than you did Kenzie, another white person. You just perform passive liberalism for the aesthetic.

Sally: You're crazy Lucy. I buy from the activist section at Urban Outfitters, I posted a black square on Instagram,..., I even went against my parents and voted for Biden ...it was such a struggle. I'm too alternative to be racist. I listen to Kpop, Lucy! Would a subconsciously racist person listen to Kpop? Also, there's never been a trump supporter who has as quaint a Stardew valley farm as I do. Because trump supporters would never play such an uwu aesthetic game.

example 2:

Ryan: are you seriously breaking up with me?

Chenelle: you never tell your friends to quit the Latina jokes.

Ryan: but im your uwu white boy of the month. :(

Chenelle: poc people on twitter invented the "white boy" of the month jokes. we've gone over this. when you say it or let it fuel your ego, it's not cute. you didn't act this way Kenna left you a few months ago. recognize your superiority complex.
