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.

Get the passive liberalism mug.
When someone says something that could be interpreted as passive-aggressive, but it's not very aggressive and more just passively hopeful => passive-hopeful.
"Well I don't have a car so that wouldn't work. If someone with a car were to go though, I'd definitely tag along!"
"Wow, so passive-aggressive."
"Nah, just passive-hopeful!"
"Wow, so passive-aggressive."
"Nah, just passive-hopeful!"

Get the passive-hopeful mug.He/she wasn't as straightforward as he/she claimed to be, he/she actually had a passive mindset of creeping up from behind and stabbing somebody in the back or shooting them in the head, then letting the other person know what the problem was.

Get the passive mug.Similar to white privilege, a "racial passive" is a term to say Jewish people have an advantage/get away with more than others.
It can generally be used to describe someone with an advantage due to being a certain race.

Get the racial passive mug.When someone is slick pissed off at you but plays like they aren’t and they do the pettiest things to piss you off and get back at you.
Tom is so passive agressive petty when he turns on the dishwasher while meghan takes a shower so the water shuts off on her leaving shampoo in her hair…..again.

Get the Passive agressive petty mug.To be forced into a situation where you have to interact with other human beings because your friend likes to socialise and you're along for the ride.
Passive Peopling/ To passively people:
To be in a social situation due to a friend where you are forced to interact with other human beings. Like passive smoking,you don't choose it but you have no choice but to absorb the residue.
