Journal apologies & retracts paper on Transracialism after social media backlash

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Transracialism is NOT A THING. Have we already forgotten Spokane's greatest contribution to America since Bing Crosby and Tom Foley, the one, the only, the incomprable Rachel Dolezal?

Yes it is. It really hurts me when people say this.

I'm sorry I triggered you, snowflake

This is beyond disrespectful. People can identify how they please. Transracialism is obviously a very real thing that we need to be supportive of. I get really sick of hateful people who try to make the world fit into their little squares at the expense of the most vulnerable.

Agreed that "transracialism" isn't a thing because race isn't a thing either. And the woman in Spokane did nothing wrong - by all accounts she was doing excellent work for the NAACP until some doofus journalist decided to "expose" her or whatever.

She was doing good work, but the black community of Spokane was still not amused that a blonde white girl from Montana basically performed benign blackface for several years and held herself out as sharing their cultural experiences (race may be a construct, but there is certainly an African american culture, just like there is Italian-American culture, ChineseAmerican culture, etc)

Then they are intolerant if they can't accept her. Hardly representative of the left.
