Weeaboos would jump on the chance to be transracial if they could.

well, probably many of them are already aiming to be young girls so they've got a mission established, and they were able to take over a previously legitimized diagnosis by adopting the name of "transgender", which had been originally filled by people who were physically or mentally suffering and trying to get treatments and surgeries to deal with it in some way [whether a good way or not], rather than people who were just fantasizing.

I don't think there are many people who are actually suffering due to a dissociation with their race - perhaps some, but gender is an easier place to have problems dealing with your body, due to sexual abuse, non-conforming issues, orientation acceptance, basic puberty/change stuff... for those who are fantasizing, it's easier to follow those who were really willing to put up with hardship. Maybe someday race-transition could "follow" gender, but it wouldn't follow seriously suffering race-dysphoria patients.
