11 People Who Were “Transracial” Way Before Rachel Dolezal

Rachel Dolezal has the entire internet going up this week as people try to figure out what the heck “transracial” means.

Is it about skin color? Because the Tan Mom is darker than most of my Black friends.

Does it mean that anyone can be a strong Black woman?

Does it mean you have a blue best friend and a light brown girlfriend like Doug Funny? Or perhaps it means you can go from hardcore rapper to A-List Hollywood actor like Mark Wahlberg…

Whatever it means, we know of at least 11 people who were transracial way before Rachel Dolezal, and we just want to make sure they get proper credit.

So to answer, we use the words of Rachel herself: “I don’t understand the question.”

Check out our transracial people of the world in the gallery below.
