Ja Du, born a white male named Adam, now considers himself a Filipino.
He even drives what he calls a Tuk Tuk, an Asian-derived vehicle used for public transit in the Philippines.
Ja Du is part of a small but growing number of people who call themselves transracial. The term once referred only to someone (or a couple) of a one race adopting a child of another, but now it’s becoming associated with someone born of one race who identifies with another.
The term "transracial" started out as a joke someone made on social media (I think twitter) following the Rachel Dolezal news. Then the media picked up on it, and Racheal Dolezal actually starting claiming that's she was "transracial".
If people can say that they feel like they were born the wrong gender and demand that you acknowledge them as their preferred gender, why shouldn’t we be able to do that with race too?

Tell that to Rachel Dolezal. Didn't go over well for her.
