User:Sidmills/Racial misrepresentation

Racial misrepresentation occurs when someone deliberately misrepresents their racial or ethnic background or uses stereotypes to misrepresent another race other than their own. Racial misrepresentation may occur for a variety of reasons, such as the desire to benefit from affirmative action programs for which a person is not eligible. Racial misrepresentation is not targeted towards one specific race and can occur towards anyone whether you are White, Black, Indigenous, Latino, Asian or other.

Another type of racial misrepresentation is following racial stereotypes (typically, negative racial stereotypes) rather than seeing people as they actually are.
