Transracial
This is not a space for satire or hate against transgender people. Absolutely no racist comments or posts allowed.
Identity is personal, respect is unviversal!
This is a community for those who identify as a different race.
The term "transracial" doesn't have a clear definition yet, but we want this to be a safe space for adoptees of color and mixed-race individuals who are grappling with their identities. Others who feel marginalized are welcome to share their stories here, as long as they are coming in good faith.
Rules:

Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive.
-
No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

I see transracial and transgender as having the same issues around identity and self-expression.
If someone feels a strong connection to a different race, I don't see why respecting that identity is any different from respecting someone's chosen gender.
The whole concept of transracial identity is relatively new, but it's starting to get attention from more and more social studies researchers and psychologists as a legitimate area of exploration and understanding.
