Race roles in society means how we’re expected to act, speak, dress, groom, and conduct ourselves based upon our assigned race. For example, an educated black person who dresses in a blue collar outfit, listens to country, prioritizes their career is often considered "Acting white", outside the racial role they are supposed to play.
A person's expression of their racial role can be more important to sustaining their identity if they are of an ambiguous ethnicity. For example, President Barack-Obama, being born to both white and African parents, was often the target of 'acting white' before his presidential race.
J-Cole, having a similar proportion of ancestry to Obama, is nevertheless unquestioned in his expression as a black individual through his musical, hair and dress style.
In other words - for racially ambiguous people - they cement their identity by acting as the stereotypes that people come to expect from a particular race.

"The race roles people play in society are destructive to the core principle of treating people as individual people."

Get the Race Role mug.An action done under caution right before the green flag. This is done intentional when the leader knows he is fixing to be beat by the second place car. Considered by most to be a chicken shit action.
I did a racing brake check right before the green flag dropped to get separation from second place. I won the race even though I caused them damage…

Get the Moose Racing League mug.Race-Pity is when you are racist to yourself and culture, but it's totally acceptable because you aren't being mean to others, just yourself. It's totally socially acceptable and normal, use it normally.

Get the Race Car mug.A woman who would be deemed unacceptable in regular society due to her figure or scantily clad clothing is deemed hott while inside the confinements of NASCAR. Thus being deemed, race hot.
"Women wearing outfits that would be deemed illegal in 27 of the 50 states in America. Normal society would turn their heads at the women wearing these outfits . . . because it didn’t matter if they were 105 lbs or 280 lbs, the dress was all the same and it was beautiful." It was race hot!
