Edit for context:

My view is transracial isn’t valid and this person is trying to dogwhistle. I’ve already blocked this person, and now they’re going after my friend saying my friend is transphobic because they disagreed with them about transracial being a thing (they’re purposefully leaving the context out so my friend looks transphobic when what my friend really said was transgender is valid but transracial isn’t)

    There are actually a lot of people who meet the social definition of black but are white passing by being right skinned enough and they choose not to identify as black to avoid the racism.

      you mean they were raised with Black culture? there’s a difference between Black American as an ethnicity and Black as a racial classification. a white biracial can be raised by 2 Black parents and identify with that culture but that won’t lead to them experiencing racism because their phenotype is still white to cops and other whites. i don’t understand the relevance of how biracial people identify?

        I don’t think this is going anywhere because you seem to think anyone can spot whether someone is black at a glance.

          if we couldn’t then by definition racism would cease to exist? if white people don’t perceive you as Black then you aren’t, no need to complicate it needlessly
