Transracialism in Cascadia

Transracial people identify as a different race than the one associated with their biological ancestry. They may adjust their appearance to make themselves look more like that race, and they may participate in activities associated with that race.

In Cascadia, transracials are a sizeable minority. An estimated 20,000 people in Cascadia identify as transracial. Of these, 80% of them identify as Black despite lacking any African-American heritage. The community has been met with prejudice and criticism for promoting cultural appropriation, although the Cascadian government defends the statements that transracialism allows people to "experience what life would be from another racial perspective".
