ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Imperial gaze

Imperial gaze is when one person or group looks at another person or group as if they are not as important or valuable as them. It's like when a big kid looks down on a little kid and thinks they are not as cool or smart or worth as much attention. It's not nice and can make the person or group being looked down upon feel bad. It's important to treat everyone with kindness and respect, no matter who they are or where they come from.
