Celebs who wish they were black: In the wake of recent events, people are getting a lot less clear about race, or a lot clearer, depending on how you look at it. In June 2015, Rachel Dolezal, who was the president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, was in the middle of a racial scandal. For over three decades, she lied about her racial identity, for reasons we’re still not completely sure of.

While we’re still scratching our heads about the Dolezal incident, it’s important to note that there may be a few other celebrities who do actually want to be Black. These celebs may have never publicly claimed to be Black, but some of them haven’t exactly corrected people’s assumptions, either.
The reasons that people may want to be Black are varied. Some of it has to do with the fact that Black people are often associated with having certain body types or doing well in certain careers. Some people are attracted to the physical features of Black people. Whatever the case, it’s nice to appreciate a certain race of people for their positive attributes. However, it’s best for everyone to just be happy being themselves. In the meantime, here are 11 celebs who likely wish they were Black.
11. DJ Khaled
DJ Khaled tags most of the songs he produces with the words “we da best.” It’s obvious that he’s completely comfortable working with some of the biggest names in hip-hop, including Lil Wayne, T.I.,Rick Ross and Fat Joe. Khaled was long assumed to be Black, and he’s not mad at that. The rapper, DJ and radio personality is actually Palestinian. DJ Khaled has been hard at work for the past few years, and when he went to the doctor to have a bald spot on his beard examined, he was told he was “suffering from success.” He decided to make that the name of his seventh album. His current album, entitled I Changed A Lot, features big names like Chris Brown and Big Sean.
