* ''Seres/CurbYourEnthusiasm'': Leon, a black man, is revealed in one episode to only eat watermelon in secret, where no white people can see him.

** Later, though, when they are trying to be intimidating, [[InvertedTrope Sin scolds Dabu for doing things that are not "gangsta"]], such as drinking tea from a small cup with the little finger raised.

Typically, this may reflect divisions of class (such as middle and upper class black people living in {{Suburbia}} complaining about the [[GangBangers "ghetto" behavior of unruly ones in the cities]]), gender expression (such as [[StraightGay gender-conforming gays]] complaining about [[CampGay "flaming" gays]], gender non-conforming heterosexual men and [[NotLikeOtherGirls women]] complaining about other heterosexual men and women enjoying hobbies typically associated with their gender, or a {{Tomboy}} complaining about a GirlyGirl because RealWomenDontWearDresses), ideology (such as people railing against the extremists of their religious or political ideology), or conformity to mainstream social rules (such as {{fanboy}}s complaining about peers who won't even bother with personal hygiene). Whatever the group involved, the criticism is generally not of the behavior in itself, but of the way it "makes us look bad." Indeed, sometimes the complainers will engage in the behavior ''themselves'', but will be careful to do so only in private; this, in turn, might cause the accused party to [[AtLeastIAdmitIt take the moral high ground over this hypocrisy]].
