You mean like Michael Jackson?
Yeah or like Sammy Sosa
I might start identifying as black and start applying to diversity programs..
No
Yes, I think people should be allowed to identify with whatever race they want. Your skin color accounts for 0.01% of your entire genome. Your gender accounts for way more than 0.01% of your genome, and people can identify as woman, man, or an alien. So why can't people identify with whatever race they want? Race and skin color is meaningless. Plus most of us aren't 100% pure of one race. Some are, but most aren't. How accurate is it to call myself any race if 4% of my ancestry is from Sub Saharan Africa????
social construct
We’ll get there eventually once intellectuals realize normal people don’t like constantly obsessing over race
I agree that obsession over race (critical race theory) is overblown. That being said eliminating race entirely isn’t the same as obsessing over race. It’s an erasure of people’s unique identity.
I don’t think the base on which you build your argument is sound. People identifying with whatever gender they choose (or alien)? Is still a very hot topic to debate. Personally, I think it’s inaccurate because other than the clear DNA and biology what it means to “feel like a man” is subjective and can often change during life. So no I do not think people should be allowed to identify with whatever he or she wants but with what he or she is born with. And while you might be 4% African you have to isolate the part of the genome that all humans share as we classify based on the differences. If you isolate the commonalities how much of the 4% remains?
Im like 40% and 50% of two other races. and the rest are just percentages from random countries
And yea I saw someone on YouTube who identifies as alien as their gender, lmao. Actually wait they consider themselves a genderless alien. My bad. If you're saying that feeling like a woman or a man is subjective, why does it mean people should identify as the gender they were born with? Objectively everyone is a woman or a man if we define "gender" as solely the reproductive organs we own. But identification it seems is more complex than that. A woman can be taking testosterone pills and identify as a man as they are transitioning. Yes, objectively that person is a woman, but if they want to consider themselves a man then I don't know what is the societal harm in that. Based on my own theological perspective (even though I flip flop between catholic and agnostic a lot) I think people need to find a way to be happy with the gender they are given and embrace it because that is who they are. But I don't think I'm going to impose my view that gender is an objective term on others who define gender differently.
Donald Glover already tackled this.
Was that also in his junior year in brown?

no because ethnicity is meaningless.. plop a black kid and white kid in the same environments growing up and they'll turn out about culturally the same. socially the only difference is stupidity driven prejudice / racism by people with a micron of a brain and small dick energy.
gender makes sense since there is a very real difference, socially and culturally, in living as a male vs as a female regardless of socioeconomic or broader cultural environments. you are meaningfully experiencing life as a different type of human being with different social expectations, different cultural tendencies, different anatomical structures, different emotional / hormonal balances.. it's not even in the same universe as claiming to be "transracial".
transcultural is doable if you immerse yourself in an entirely new culture and become more and more integrated and embedded into that culture. but transracial? give me a break mate.
Yes. Can't wait for the hordes of Asian kids to sue Harvard because they don't recognize them as black trans.
Lmao
WTF is this trans-racial nonsense?
Unless you're mixed you probably shouldn't engage in this BS.
You will never get rid of race because race is based in the last 600,000 years of hominid evolution.
So black people are basically the OG Homo Sapiens?
