The newest social justice identity is here — “transracial” individuals who think they are really a different race than the one they were born as.

An article published Monday on the USA Today Network profiles a white male named Adam who now believes he is Filipino and calls himself “Ja Du,” and drives a “Tuk Tuk,” a Filipino vehicle.
The article reads, “Ja Du is part of a small but growing number of people who call themselves transracial. The term once referred only to someone (or a couple) of a one race adopting a child of another, but now it’s becoming associated with someone born of one race who identifies with another.”
Speaking about Filipino culture, “Du” says, “Whenever I’m around the music, around the food, I feel like I’m in my own skin.”
He is not just transracial, however. He is also transsexual and is thinking about changing his gender too.
The article also reports that Facebook groups for transracial people are growing.
The issue of transracial-ism has been floated before when in 2015, Rachel Dolezal, then the president of a local NAACP chapter, was revealed to be a white woman pretending to be black.
At the time, comparisons between Dolezal and transgender people like Caitlyn Jenner were smacked down by the social justice world.
He has been convinced it’s not OK to be white....
In the morning I'm flemish. :-/
Why are you letting the Catalonians get so far out-of-hand?
Wow that's great news, a little blackface and I don't got to pay for nuffin anymore.
I’m black Gives me dat!
A few years ago, some of the “Jackson Whites” who live along the NY/NJ state line, descendants of the Ramapo, Munsee and Lenape tribes tried to get permission to build a casino in Mahwah, NJ, near the site of the old Ford plant. The Fed Gov’t turned them down, saying they have too much African and Caucasian ancestry in their DNA to qualify. So it’s all sh!ts and giggles to “be what we wanna be” except when gov’t says otherwise.
What’s next? Somebody declaring they are a unicorn trapped in a human body?
He needs to become a public school student in Delaware. Those little snowflakes get to choose their race and sex and everything and their parents aren’t part of that process. Yeah, it’s a Democrat weird zone here.
"I'm Blue"
My advice, chose whatever minority or religion gets you special protection from the government. Only a rube plays a rigged game by the rules.
Does this mean that whites in the USA can start putting “African American” or “Latino” on their racial profiling documents when applying for jobs to get preference in hiring and additional protections to keep those jobs? Why not? It should now go both ways. I mean, if you feeeeeeeeeeel like a minority, you should just be able to self proclaim as such, and get whatever social benefits are out there these days.
I’m a purple penguin.
I’m turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
Remember "Be All You Can Be"?
If all someone can be is a half-white Navajo woman or a half-black Kenyan homosexual what right does anyone have to disagree with them?

Or...eat his pistol.
