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 Drag Racing mug.A side race is any race in America that isn't white or black. They would be considered minorities from any region. The reason why I call them a side race is because they are overshadowed constantly by the 2 mainstream races which are the blacks and the whites. They aren't involved in the big race war that you automatically become involved in once your both ether race in America. The race war in America between the blacks & the whites has been going on since slavery days. A side race's symptoms maybe jealousy,envy,anger, or captian obvious. They often feel resentment that their race is considered irrelevant by society and that their opinions are often deemed insignificant and meaningless because they aren't in ether races shoes due to this obvious fact they are often observing and giving a outside perspective that benefits no one and that we can all see.
