Quoted: Leslie Bow, a professor of English and Asian-American studies at the University of Wisconsin at Madison who has written about transracialism, said Dolezal didn’t seem to be transracial — a concept she said has been most commonly invoked in terms of adoption, such as when white parents adopt children of color — as some have claimed. (Bow also has argued that transracialism indicates a kind of “social betweenness,” such as Asians being treated as black or white under segregation.)
