mighty white of you
used to describe someone who thinks they’ve done a great deed, charitable action or sacrifice, but in reality they’ve done very little to help the human condition.
earl: i gave that homeless man my half eaten apple.
roger: wow, thats mighty white of you.
originally used under colonialism and before civil rights, this phrase expressed appreciation for honorable or gracious behavior, under the -ssumption that white people were inherently more virtuous. today, it is generally used sarcastically in reference to underwhelming acts of generosity.

a: i built the slaves a church to hang out in on sundays, even though i didn’t have to.
b: well, that’s mighty white of you.
in harlem in 2010:
