Kevin H. Vollmers, executive director of an adoption non-profit, said the term is being “appropriated and co-opted”  and that this is a “slap in the face” to transracial adoptees.[3] In June 2015, about two dozen transracial adoptees, transracial parents and academics published an open letter in which they condemned the new usage as “erroneous, ahistorical, and dangerous.”[3][4][5]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In April 2017, the feminist philosophy journal Hypatia published an academic paper in support of recognizing transracialism and drawing parallels between transracial and transgender identity.[6] Publication of this paper resulted in considerable controversy. The subject was also explored in Trans: Gender and Race in an Age of Unsettled Identities, a 2016 book by UCLA sociology professor Rogers Brubaker, who argues that the phenomenon, though offensive to many, is psychologically real to many people, and has many examples throughout history.[7][8]Examples[edit]Rachel Dolezal is known for identifying as a black woman despite having been born to white parents.[6][9][10] She successfully passed as black, to the extent that she took over leadership of the Spokane branch of the NAACP in 2014, a year before her “outing” in 2015.Martina Big, who was featured on Maury in September 2017, is a woman of white ancestry who identifies as black.[11][12] Big has had tanning injections administered by a physician to darken her skin and hair.[11][12]Oli London, a British influencer and singer who identifies as Korean, and has had numerous plastic surgeries to confirm his current racial identity. London modelled his appearance on his idol, BTS singer Jimin.[13]Korla Pandit, an African-American musician who posed as an Indian from New Delhi in both his public and private life. Pandit was born John Roland Redd.[14]See also[edit]References[edit]^ Valby, Karen. “The Realities of Raising a Kid of a Different Race”. Time. Archived from the original on December 18, 2017.
