Is that individual an XX or an XY?
There are several Chinese words spelled "bai" in English--the relevant one seems to be the one which means "white."
Likewise there are multiple words spelled "zuo" in English but the relevant one seems to be the one which means "left."
If I saw the Chinese characters I would be able to tell for sure, but apparently the literal meaning of "baizuo" is "white left." That makes sense--a Western leftist.
