White women's tears
White women's tears was a joke referenced several times during RaceFail '09. It refers to the tendency of race and gender discussions in feminism to be derailed by white women into the pain the discussion is causing non-POC. It is a related phenomenon to the "(missing) white woman syndrome" or WWS[1].
