Race traitor is a pejorative reference to a person who is perceived as supporting attitudes or positions thought to be against the interests or well-being of their own race. For example, one or both parties to an interracial relationship may be characterised as "race traitors". The term may indicate racialist attitudes on the part of those who use it.
For example, Condoleezza Rice has been described as a race traitor.[1]
The term is the source of the name of a quarterly magazine, Race Traitor, founded in 1993.[2]
