CHICAGO — A 20-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city, alleging that his race is listed as Caucasian in his personnel file, but he “currently identifies as Egyptian and African American.”
Mohammad Yusuf, 43, claims that the department only offered Caucasian, Black, and Hispanic as race designations when he joined the force in 2004, so he chose “Caucasian.” But the department now allows incoming officers to choose from “over nine” different racial designations, the lawsuit says.
The police department has a “blanket prohibition” against changing an officer’s race in its records. Yet, it allows officers to “have their gender identity corrected to match their lived experience,” Yusuf’s suit claims.
Even after Yusuf presented the results of a “23 and Me” genetic test to prove his heritage, the department said it was “not possible” to let him select another ethnicity for his personnel file.

This is what passes (involuntarily) for "Caucasian".
It was just a matter of time before this became an issue of serious consideration. Rachel D. has been validated and vindicated!
Twenty years ago volunteering that he was “a Caucasian” was more beneficial than declaring to be and African or Egyptian.
Egyptian wasn’t a choice
Gender is subjective.
Just like race.
You can be anything you want to be.
Note to Deep State: Hoist!
But if he wants special treatment on account of his genetics he can GFHS.
Before changing his ethnicity he must first prove that he can WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN!
OH, STFU.
Would you be surprised to learn he looks exactly like your average American black?
This is what is important to a 20-year cop??? What is missing from this story? Why is this important? Does it change his current or retirement pay? I don’t get the whole identity politics-I know in the end it is about money, always is.
Of course. Glom onto "white privilege" until it's not advantageous.
I still want him to win. That way if he has to shoot a black criminal in self defense, it won't be a white cop who did it.
My adopted son’s birth mother was adopted herself from Central America so she is 100% Hispanic. My son gets listed on everything as Hispanic because it is now a spoils system and I will give him every advantage if that is the game they want to play.
And he should get promotions and raises that are commensurate with his newfound victimhood.
I'll never forget it.I wonder how that kid turned out...I hope he's doing well.
Applying a race to a person against his determination is unconstitutional as long as such instances as job quotas or educational school entries are involved for people wihin the country. I can’t remember any application or designation question by anyone that doesn’t have either “other” or “unknown.”
Race designation is based upon past designation. If he had checked either of the two above options, it would have had to remain that way.
I’ve had a running gun battle with the census for years because my father was adopted and there is no medical records for him anywhere. Thus I don’t have a confirmed race so I use one of the two option above. And they have questioned me on it. That is the reason they make those options available.

So, he is one of the bloody idiots who claim that Nefertiti (sp?) was black?
I don’t know Mohammad Yusuf personally, but I would bet that he is not a Coptic Christian.
