  2. Yes, why wouldn't that be ok? Or am I not understanding what you said properly :|

  3. You talking bout that NAACP lady who was born white but changed her skin and posed as black? Yes, there is something wrong with that. There is no such thing as being #TransRacial :roll:

  6. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with identifying with a different race. If you are more comfortable that way - then so be it! In Australia, if an aboriginal community accepts you as one of your own, then you can legally become Aboriginal in the eyes of the law. (I believe this is still the case)

    In relation to the NAACP lady, I think her mental health status and history of abuse (I believe I read this somewhere), are more important to think of. Identifying with another race is fine, actively making yourself appear like it is fine. Pretending someone else is your child, is not okay and makes me think that she is unwell.

  7. I think its ok to be whatever you want to be.And this is new to me but i think there is a lot of people who identify with other races but get picked on if they act a certain way.Because of stereo types on how blacks and whites should act.
