Picking my own race? Who's to say I'm not a Chinese guy trapped in white mans body? I'm mostly joking, just wondering how all the retards saying to allow a child to choose its own gender would feel about me being a black white guy, etc. by choice. I can't help that I was born this way!!!

ETA: Maybe I'm really a Pakistani women trapped in a white boys body,  just to throw the gender thing back in there.

I have been repeatedly assured that race is simply a social construct.

And a hell of a lot more accurate than black Americans claiming it.

There is this readheaded irish guy at my work who claims he's Mexican because he was adopted by a Mexican family in the 60's, so he says.

Look at it this way:   Its easier to change to a new gender than to change your Arfcom screen name!

OP, it's actually been done. Forget where, but I saw a tweet post recently of someone who in all seriousness had Sharpie'd in her face (white chick) and was talking about "representing herself as the race she truly identifies as."

If nothing is ever absolute, then everything is up for grabs.
