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.
