Transracial (identity)

Transracial (identity) means that a person identifies with a race different from the one they were born into. It is something that someone chooses to do, and it is not something that most people are born with. For example, a person may feel that they have a closer connection to another culture or a different race than their own. They might also feel more comfortable or have more in common with members of that culture or race. Transracial identity can include changing one's hairstyle, clothing, values, and language, which can all help to show that one identifies with a different race or culture.
