Outside/Inside Slur	comment	In case you're wondering, this trope isn't about acquiring N-Word Privileges just to be able to insult another group from "within". The "inside" and "outside" here refer to individuals, not groups. Alice tells Bob: "Outside you're X, but inside, you're (really) Y!" This means that Bob belongs to, claims to belong to, or at least seems to belong to group X but behaves like someone from group Y. This usually implies that Y is evil, intolerant of X, or at best mutually exclusive with X. Ultimately, this is a way to call Bob a phony. Very often, especially when it's about race, this involves a comparison to a food item which is one color on the outside and another inside. Someone who's "Asian outside, white inside" might be called a banana (yellow skin, white inside), for example. Often used to accuse someone of being a Category Traitor. Like N-Word Privileges, these can be applied teasingly between friends or toward oneself, but they're heavily context-dependent and can cause great offense if misused. Compare The Whitest Black Guy, to whom such slurs are often addressed (see the Real Life tab for examples). Contrast Pretty Fly for a White Guy in which a member of group X considers himself to be a part of group Y though members of Y disagree.

Outside/Inside Slur / int_1aacbbc9	comment	In Dragon Age, the nomadic Dalish elves call the elves who live among humans "flat ears" (denying their Pointy Ears and hence their elvishness) as they believe them to be little different from their human overlords.

It may not have been meant as a racial slur (although Jessi took it as one), given that the insult was clearly supposed to include Mallory, who isn't black.

Outside/Inside Slur / int_745711f9	comment	Look to the West: The Empire of North America's Liberal Party is symbolised by yellow, while the Mentian Party (i.e. socialists) use purple. In the 1920s, the cobrist faction (left wing) of the Liberals is known as the "Overripe Aubergines", because they look yellow, but they're really purple. In the following decade, the Supremacist party (right-wing radicals symbolised by a buff colour) is largely taken over by right-wing establishment types who see the Patriots (sybolised by blue) as a lost cause. Traditional Supremacists call them "New York firemen", probably because that fire department wears buff protective coats over blue uniforms.

Played for Drama, as the show addresses the many issues in the US Latino community, including racism, as is shown with the aforementioned slurs. Season 3 trailers show residents painting actual coconuts over Emma and Lyn's painting on the community mural to further protest the changes they made to Visa's bar.
