A term that protects cultural assimilators when people speak out against them. Supposedly, defined as the race you feel the most connected to. A person who adopts a racial identity might begin to: speak stereotypically, dress in outdated/ stereotypical clothing, change their physical appearance artificially, or state that they want to be reborn into their racial identity. Typically, but not as the exception, adopters of a racial identity are White American teenagers. Certain laws have been put into place to make it harder to protect your own culture from them.

1: Wassup my Bruther?
2: Why are you talking like that?
1: Cus I'm Black. I just got my results back on 23 and me, and it turns out I'm 30% Northeastern African, so I wanted to embrace my Black culture.
2: Not all Africans are Black, and there are other ways to embrace your heritage.
1: Shut up! You don't understand. Being Black is my racial identity. I'm Black and I've always been Black, Now I just have proof!

Get the IDENTITYmug. When a user-member on the BeatYourTruck.com forum can't decide on a permanent avatar and so eludes to a recurring format of unfamiliar and somewhat uncomfortable recognition.
At first I didn't recognize that avatar, but upon closer inspection it turns out that noob moderator has a mixed identity.

Get the mixed identitymug. The historic root of human dysfunction. The sense that each of us belongs to a group - or tribe - from which we derive our idea of who we are, what we call ourselves, what we believe, whom else is a member and who is excluded.
Whether rooting for a sports team or voting along party lines, we divide ourselves into 'us' and 'them', as humans have done for millennia. It leads us to war. At a minimum we endure a chronic state of para-warfare.
He could not fathom how she had voted for Biden! She in turn looked with speechless amazement at his mindless devotion to ... she could not bring herself to utter that reviled name! Neither could ever change the other's mind by an inch. They were exemplars of tribal identity, each believing their side was right, the other side wrong, the finding of middle ground a fantasy for Springsteen/Jeep commercials during the Super Bowl - itself a tribal enactment - and nothing more.

Get the Tribal Identitymug. When someone has been pressured to identify themselves, but is not yet self aware, by someone claiming to be an authority.
This often comes up with police trying to get your ID, school wanting to know about family and what you eat for breakfast, politics whating you to side with a party instead of refusing to get involved in party politics and be an issue based voter.
Not to be confused with sexualy orientation by way of identity, social identity in that how you look is not your identity but how other people precieve you and in turn treat you.
