  • 'Transracial' man born white feels like he is Filipino...

    Why even call this Transracial? Why not just say that he is drawn to the Filipino culture, likes the Filipino culture?

    'Transracial' man born white feels like he is Filipino

    TAMPA, Fla. -- Riding in a flamboyant purple vehicle, Ja Du shows up to a coffee shop to open up about his new identity.

    Ja Du, born a white male named Adam, now considers himself a Filipino. Turns out the purple ride he drives around in is called a Tuk Tuk, an Asian-derived vehicle used for public transit in the Philippines he says.

    Ja Du is part of a small, but growing community of people who considers themselves transracial. It refers to someone born one race, but identifies with another.

    Sound weird? Not to them. Ja Du says he grew up enjoying Filipino food, events and the overall culture.

    So why is this not just "Cultural Appropriation?"

    Liberals can't seem to make up their minds.

        Because "trans-" is apparently a prefix that lets you get away with anything these days.

                The vast majority of liberals do not accept the idea of being transracial.

                  It seems to depend on the circumstance. If it supports the liberal agenda then it is fine, otherwise it is "cultural appropriation"

                  They are anything but consistent.

                      This isn't true at all. There is very, very, very little support for the idea of being transracial. It only exists among the lunatic fringe.

                            Because you are closet bigots.

                              Those are also backed by science, whereas transracialism isn't.
