Similar to "dummy text", "text filler" or "greeking". Gack is anything used in a design as a temporary place holder before being replaced by an actual design element. For instance, filling columns of text with "Lorem ipsum dolor...", or using a textured box where an image or other design element might go in a layout.
Gack can also mean something in an image or design which serves a technical purpose that is intended to be removed in the final product, such as tracking dots on a plain wall being filmed, or a wire harness on an actor that needs to be painted out.

Refers to racial inequality and white privilege, particularly in America. It directly relates to small barriers being removed or doors opened simply on the basis of race/culture. An example might be a white person accidentally runs a traffic light, and the officer gives the driver a warning, whereas if a black person accidentally ran that same light that same officer would more likely write a ticket.
