Passing (racial identity)
Racial passing describes a member of a racial group who is successfully accepted by others as a different race, especially in the case of a person of mixed race being accepted as a member of the racial majority. It is usually used derisively and is not considered politically correct to aspire or attempt to pass, or to accuse another person of aspiring or attempting to pass.
