When interviewed for a news story about racial tensions, leo denies that he or any of his friends are racist. when he is with his family, however, leo tells racist jokes and says that immigrants, "should all speak english if they live in my country!" leo's behavior illustrates?

Answer 1

Leo's behavior illustrates the disparity between front stage and back stage behaviors.  

Leo presents a front stage behavior when he wants the audience to believe he's not racist, so he denies that he's racist. However, when nobody can actually see him, he presents a back stage behavior since the audience he wants to deceive is not present.
