Race impersonation is the act of wearing clothing and/or appropriating a particular race/ethnic group commonly associated with minorities within a particular society. It is distinct from passing in that the impersonation is not necessarily complete and is thus possibly transparent to some of the spectators. Common term "wigger" associated with a white person dressing as a hip hop artist and saying they are "black".
