Racial categorization of individuals and White-passing phenotypes have carried complex implications throughout U.S. history, and represent the continuation of the European colonial project and mindset. This study was performed in order to research the cultural experiences of White-passing individuals of color, and how affluence, liminal identity, and language proficiency impact one’s feelings of cultural belonging. Individuals who self-identified as having White-passing appearances, but belonging to distinct non-White cultural groups, were interviewed in order to study their experiences. It was found that affluence and language ability had the most profound impacts on one’s feelings of cultural belonging and connection.
