The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself – anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called. - George Orwell - 1984

How would the slugs at the Washington Post have covered this if the teenagers waiting for a bus had been black and verbally attack for wearing 'Hope and Change' tee shirts?

Hence “The Smirk (tm)” which might not even have been a smirk... I’m just saying supposing it was, it oughtn’t to have been a big deal.
