I can't believe you just compared gender identity with "wigger" identity.
Gender is influenced by many things, including hormonal balance, sexual orientation, and deeply rooted social scripts from which no one is spared.
Now tell me of any aspects that affect these white kids that come remotely close to being as influential and, in many cases, uncontrollable.
I don't think there are many white kids out there who actually think they're black, but there are "women" out there who can't see themselves as anything other than "men," just as there are "men" who can't see themselves as anything other than "women."
I don't see how your comparison works.
