'White' Chicago Cop Sues Department to Change His Race Officer Muhammed Yusuf says racial identity is fluid and being incorrectly designated Caucasian has hampered his career. A veteran cop who says he doesn't identify as Caucasian wants to change the racial designation in his personnel file from "white" to one he believes is more appropriate -- even taking a genetic test to bolster his contentions -- but claims the department won’t let him. That’s according to a $1 million civil rights lawsuit filed by Officer Mohammad Yusuf, who joined the Chicago Police Department (CPD) in 2004 and “was compelled to identify as Caucasian, despite not identifying as white.” Now, Yusuf, who is of Egyptian descent and “currently identifies as Egyptian and African American,” wants a federal judge to make the CPD update its records to “accurately reflect his race, as North African.” "While other CPD officers can correct their gender to match their gender identity, other officers, like Yusuf, are barred from obtaining accurate racial designations matching their racial identity," the lawsuit states. ‘White’ Chicago Cop Muhammed Yusuf Sues Police Department to Change His Race (thedailybeast.com) Feb 26, 2024 So it seems that being "White" or "Caucasian" comes with detrimental affect to his career. Likely due to all the "affirmative action" policies. This isn't that surprising in that area. And the Left seems to want to designate Middle Easterners as "White".
"Officer Muhammed Yusuf says racial identity is fluid and being incorrectly designated Caucasian has hampered his career." so he wants to trade in that white privilege card for a minority privilege card? grass is always greener on the other side, regardless what side you're on it seems
It appears that one doesn't get much mileage out of the so-called White privilege card. You wouldn't have so many white people like that dollzel woman, trying their damnedest to be black when they're as white as the driven snow
Actually it's not the left, it's just the way the census bureau has designated race for decades. The left wants to establish a new census category for middle easterners in order to get them on the oppression train, and lots of middle easterners want it, because they are missing out on all matter of affirmative action contracting as long as they're white.
