Subject: outcasted

In a newsgroup for my American English class for MA-candidates, one
student wrote "If you speak like a white person, you are
outcasted. If you succeed academically, you are outcasted." Has anyone
met this reverbalizing of a deverbalized adjective before [to coin a
term]? is the process common?
