i have made a post like this but here it goes *deep breath*: 

TRANSETHNICITY IS A REAL THING IN ADOPTION TERMS. 

it is when a child of one ethnicity is adopted by parents of another ethnicity.

white people just hijacked this term from adoptees and are using it for their racist motives. ‘transethnic’ is a real term. you’re just using it wrong. 

Just like how people hijacked the term “triggered” to make it seem like it’s just something that causes mild annoyance rather than something that provokes a full on panic attack or traumatic flashback?
