Or black depending on what color you are now.
If you could choose to change your "race" to asian, hispanic, black etc would you?
I wouldnt. I love being white and am proud of my culture and history.

This is the color I am, and I like being this color; though the Irish in me could do with a little natural sunscreen, burning in the summer sucks.

The benifit of me giving up white would be being able to get into any school I wanted.  And be able to get promoted because i'm the only minority.

Other than that I dont think I would want to give it up.

I wouldn't mind being striped.  Yellow and Blue, like my race car.  I think that would be pretty cool.  And polka-dots on my feet, just my feet.  Anything beyond that would be kinda' weird, ya' know?

At the risk of adding fuel to the fire I will add this:

In the Engineering department of a school Im familiar with, many of the faculty and staff receive tri-yearly memos reminding them that the school "needs a more diverse culture of graduates".

So, what's the motivation if they can pass without any effort at all?

I am used to the way I look.  But I am not "proud of my race" because I didn't have any part in choosing it.  It's just an accident of birth.

what am i giving up being white for?

do i get to be black AND a millionaire or something?

i would say all races have advantages and disadvantages, i might as well stick with white instead of having to figure out a slightly foreign culture.

and if you think that being white currently makes you king turd of shit mountain, realize that we are rapidly becoming a minority in this country.

You would be giving up one color for another you cant be both so by definition you would have to give up being whatever color you are now.

As a halfbreed (mexican/white with a smidgen of indian) im not mexican enough for the mexicans, (I dont speaka the languitch)  and not white enough to pass as white.

as for my mexican heritage, there arent a whole lot of noteworthy mexican contributions that i'm aware of (human sacrifice?  tequila?  the donkey show?  the siesta?) outside of the culinary realm.

since i identify with white culture, i pretty much just consider myself white.

Being White is cool. The White race is the dominant one in the world.
