Quote:Riding in a flamboyant purple vehicle, Ja Du shows up to a coffee shop to open up about his new identity.

Ja Du, born a white male named Adam, now considers himself a Filipino. Turns out the purple ride he drives around in is called a Tuk Tuk, an Asian-derived vehicle used for public transit in the Philippines he says.

Ja Du is part of a small, but growing community of people who considers themselves transracial. It refers to someone born one race, but identifies with another.

Sound weird? Not to them. Ja Du says he grew up enjoying Filipino food, events and the overall culture.

“Whenever I’m around the music, around the food, I feel like I’m in my own skin,” he said.

“I’d watch the history channel sometimes for hours you know whenever it came to that and you know nothing else intrigued me more but things about Filipino culture.”

If you’re thinking this sounds familiar, you might remember the story of Rachel Dolezal. Dolezal was born white, but identified as black and portrayed herself as such. She was even the president of the Spokane, Washington, chapter of the NAACP.

After she appeared on an episode of Dr. Phil, the term transracial started to become more widely known. Now, we are finding out this community of people who identify as another race is growing. If you look on Facebook, where we found Ja Du, groups dubbed transracial are popping up with dozens of members.

Someone tell this dumb*** that filipino is not a race, its a nationality.

True although they are Asians.

Take a look at his photo.......you really expect he would know that difference??

Somehow, I'm betting he won't be much of a success in his life......

I saw this on USA Today app at lunch....

Have to admit best laugh I've had in a long time.

The video of him driving was great.

Filipino food is nothing to write home about. They are most famous for perhaps the most revolting food of all times of all cultures, balut.

I can count on one hand the number of things I have refused to at least try one. This is #1.

Same here.

I have a confession to make and this is as good a time as any to do it.

I was born a white male heterosexual, but have come to realize I'm actually a lesbian. Scenes of hot lesbians doing their thing just drive me crazy. There, I admitted it.

A trans-lesbian I guess that makes me. I feel better.

Thank you for sharing and your courage. I will let ESPN know so that they can process your award.

There's that word "feel" again. What happened to the good ol' days when someone just said "I feel good today" or "I feel like walking in the park?"

I too have a confession to make. I'm actual transfinancial. I'm a rich man trapped in a poor man's body. Going to need each of you to send me $100 to help ease my pain. Thanks in advance!

Send me a hot lesbian and we have a deal.

Gawd, this site is wonderful, bringing individuals from all walks of life together. We are the world.

how about tell cousin 'it' to, "go find the rope outside and do something useful sonny"

.....I dunno......something along those lines should work just fine and dandy....

Well, if Kap is going to confess....I feel like I was born as an oaken mallet. Yep, I'm transinanimate.
