So-called "digital blackface" happens a lot in terms of people having a Twitter account to win arguments and shit In terms of actually trying to surrender their whiteness and "live as a PoC" in real life? No I can think of a tiny handful of historical examples

Why read The Human Stain when he is a human stain

It doesn’t occur to him that it happens the other way so often it’s called “passing” and there’s a whole genre of literature devoted to it?
