 i know this guy (caucasian persuasion) who goes around calling himself the spanish version of his name to intentionally give off i-am-ambiguously-ethnic vibes a la rachel dolezal so would calling said person by their “real” name be considered “deadnaming” or should we come up with a new word for this phenom such as….what? 

whitenaming?  what does it mean to try to pass as non-euro ethnic or “colored”?  should we care?  not care?  this seems to be “a thing.”
