In South Africa, there was a term “honorary white” (mainly East Asians like Japanese) to enjoy white priorities under the Apartheid era.

Why do you say I’m a self-hater? I refer to myself as I master and understand western culture well and proficient in English, which doesn’t mean I’m a white wannabe. If I don’t reveal my face, would you regard me as an Asian?

That’s what I refer to the term “honorary white” - not born of Caucasian race but can enjoy white priorities.

Nope, but would you try to pass yourself as a westerner? dont deny your origins.

They should create a better nomenclature instead of "honorary wHiTEs"

No, despite I could pretend myself as white in the cyberworld, I regard myself as someone with both east asian and western side in my mind.

I can’t find a term or a phrase to describe myself as someone who can pretend myself as white on an anonymous online forum based on my mastery of western culture.
