Florida of the day: Tampa man was born white, but says he’s “transracial” and feels like he’s Filipino

That’s what I love about Florida: just when you think it can’t get any weirder, someone says “hold my beer”. Case in point: Adam, a man from Tampa says that while he was born a white guy, deep down inside, he feels Filipino, goes by the name “Ja Du”, and identifies as “transracial”:

But given his not-so-Filipino-sounding nickname, hair, clothes, and especially the shoes, he needs to do a lot more research, practice, or maybe just face-time with actual Filipinos (and no, this is not me volunteering my time):

Crocs? Ay nako! If you really want to be Filipino, you’d best up your shoe game.
