I understand that "kapo" is used within the Jewish community to condemn Jews who cozy up to fascists. Since kapos were concentration camp prisoner-guards known for their cruelty towards other prisoners during the Holocaust, that's a serious charge; I wouldn't feel comfortable using it as a non-Jew.

Apologies if this is a bit too serious for this thread, but as it comes up on social media a lot...

Is there a term for minority folks who find themselves buddying up with political figures, movements, pundits, etc. that most likely want them dead? Some examples are Blaire White (trans woman), Jontron (Persian man), Milo (gay man), Laura Loomer (Jewish woman), and so on and so forth. I grasp the mindset of it (I believe Milo is even quoted as wanting to be the right wing's "favorite [f-slur]"), but is there a catch-all term for those types of folks who want to be seen as "one of the good ones" by borderline (or even outright) Nazis?

I'm normally pretty good at going out and trying to educate myself on things like this, but I wouldn't know where to even begin searching on this one.

Huh, thanks for the great answers, everyone. I'd love to learn more culture/language-specific terms for this type of folks. After I posted, I realized "token" does definitely fit this description, but similar to "Uncle Tom", it's got some...negatively-charged background to it, so I wasn't sure if it was appropriate.

re: the token thing. it seems to be a fairly standard and time tested practice. Anti minority rhetoric seems to have more weight when coming from a minority. So all anti minority groups have to do is find someone willing to throw their own people under the bus for personal gain (being able to string a coherent sentence together is secondary) and reward them accordingly. There's also the fact that you're just another one when fighting for your rights, but when you side with the enemy you get way more relevance in a much faster way. It's funny how often it happens and people always fall for it every time.

I'm really surprised that no theorist like Homi Bhabha has coined a term for that kind of collaborator.


Though as I type it "minority collaborator" seems to hit all of the notes necessary. I know I've seen "collaborator" used in this respect, though I can't recall with what adjectives.

I did some looking and apparently the MTA is saying graffiti is a very uncommon problem with the trains (it used to be that no train was allowed into service with graffiti on the outside) and the cops are doing this tweet because they've got a fight going on with City Hall.
