History yields all sorts of examples of people who have taken on characteristics they associate with a different race, such as white minstrels who mimicked blacks, white teens who adopted ghetto styles, and people of color who passed as white.
For now, and for the most part, I'm going to focus on people who move from a privileged position to an oppressed one: men becoming women, and whites becoming people of color.
