The theory that draws attention to the situation in which a person refrains from racist comments in public, but freely makes such comments with his or her friends and family is dramaturgical theory. This theory suggests that people are like actors on a stage, performing different roles in different situations. In this case, the person is performing the role of a non-racist in public, but is not truly committed to that role and drops the act when in the presence of like-minded individuals. Affirmative action, split market, and minority majority theories do not apply to this situation.
