Race Queer
An identity and flag for use by people whose race and/or racial identity falls outside the system society uses.
Race is a social construct, and the way societies have approached race historically are rigid and force people into arbitrarily defined categories. Trace (trans racial) rejects this inherently. In the case of mixed race people, who are some of the most visible race queer people, they are forced into monoracial classifications when being mixed race is actually extremely common, and force people into a false dichotomy where they are forced to choose only one of their racial components as the "real" one.
This applies to situations such as: transracial (trace), multiracial people who identify as more than one of their races or as mixed race, multiracial people who feel they don't pass as any race, multiracial people who identify as a part of their racial background that society claims they do not pass as, people who do not identify with their physical race for any reason, people who feel they do not fit into a specific racial category or are aracial, people who identify as a xenorace or neorace.
Feel free to use any concepts or pictures here. If this is already coined, consider this an alternative coining. Originally posted on my other account. 🌈🍈
