Race checked

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.
