I guess the obvious thing to do if you’re a rich African-American is emigrate. Wouldn’t happen in Oz.
Lots of shit I see happening in the US is like another fucking planet.
Might explain why all this identity politics shit is all so goddamn fraught… nerves are so raw from the epic quantities of hereditary injustice.

I’m aware it’s a parody, but if this an exaggeration of the actual POV in the US society I don’t get it at all.
For me all persons show a perfectly normal expression, they are not bored or angry. If I would meet any of them I would honestly believe that they are quite happy and relaxed (but I cannot stand the beard moustache (thanks @enso) of greenshirt - looks like an 80s German soccer player or pornstar).
Let’s take a look at the three scenes:
candlelight dinner
As he stated that this is the first relationship he’s really trying, he knows her and should be able to read the mood - no idea why he’s exploding. Is it even possible to eat and smile at the same time without sputtering food chunks?
POS
I try to follow a three-step program:
- $salutation
- monetary transaction
- $valediction
The only mandatory step is 2., everything else is icing on the cake: Important, but can be omitted. 2. was done, a “thanks” is imo a good enough 3. step. Not 10 of 10 points, but a rather normal exchange.
proposal
Her reaction is not one I tie to the situation, but if one is ready to propose one ought to know the partner.
I still believe that the bitchy/arsehole resting face is the base expression where I live and don’t see a reason to give it a special name.
If the video shows the social contract of the US I would go mad there…

Huh, do people actually use that as an insult? That’s kinda lame. I’m happy to admit I haven’t seen “resting bitch face” used that much, but it’s always been people cheerfully describing themselves. (“I’m not actually pissed off in this photo, I just have resting bitch face.”)
Though I did get a photo from a friend on a Florida vacation, lounging stone-faced on the sand, with the caption “Resting Beach Face.”
I tell people they have a resting bird face:
Gender neutral and it confuses most people enough that I can escape those conversations.
