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.

Get the Race Rolemug. by PlusFearzz May 16, 2018
Get the Race Carmug. 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 Racing Brake Checkmug. 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.
