(Portmanteau of Wig + Negress; only a Negress by virtue of an assumed wig.) Written with the short "i" of "wig," but pronounced with the long "e" of "Negress." A non-Black (ok, typically white) woman who adopts a Black persona, fashion, language, cultural identity, etc, the word covering a range of meanings from the literal adoption of artificial Black hair-styles, all the way through the large-scale Performance Art of Rachel Dolezal and Jessica Krug, who built careers on assumed Black identities.
