common for whites to view “befriending” or marrying token nonwhite people as an act of colonial/imperial domination while simultaneously trying to cynically use their “loved one” as a shield
obviously the most toxic of dynamics are at play within such relationships
I want to learn more about this dynamic from an academic point of view. This has to have a formal name, I’ve experienced it myself (though I have never had the gall to tell those people that I see through them) so many times.

I believe the proper term is called “white sexual imperialism”
