Race checking, a race check, or the past tense "race-checked" is an occurrence when one person claims to be a race and the other person denies them that privilege. It typically occurs when ambiguous ethnic groups claim to be white but a "race expert" will come in and deny his race, often in a cruel and mocking way. Race checkers come in many different races: An Indian man race checking an Arab who claims to be southern European for example.
"I'm white, bro!"
"You aren't white, you look like dirty arab!"
A bystander: "DAMN, GET RACE CHECKED!"

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
