I feel like changing your race is gonna work against your want for that race to embrace you. So it seems really dumb to me. If you think you have to be a race for that race to embrace you as a friend/ally/lover your thinking is fucked up. You're pretty much just gonna end up only being more accepted by other people who don't understand how to appreciate other races without trying to be them.

Im just glad I never thought being black was the only way I could continue to enjoy hip hop music

i mean people can feel/believe whatever the fuck they want, so why would it not be possible?

if someone feels this way, and it causes them distress in their lives and/or disrupts their everyday functioning, its a "real" thing

Such dysphoria is likely something individuals develop into as part of a general feeling of displacement. Then they latch onto something, start feeling they're lacking without it, and then develop the need to have traits associated with it. I'd say it's different than something like gender dysphoria which I assume comes from whatever biological triggers cause the disconnect in the first place in that it is something informed by the world around them instead.

Its not a thing, no. Race is a construct. You aren't born with a different brain because of your skin color.

Blackface is a temporary thing. I guess. Transracial is someone wanting to be another race forever (I guess)

Ah. I was genuinely curious. Cause I didn't know what stance it was to deny the whole thing. But it seems obvious now and that was probably a stupid question

No, it's not a thing.

We all understand that we're the same race, yet we repeat silly concepts created by people who were full of shit. Even to this day.

With that said, there are a variety of cultures that are appealing to those from outside of that culture. Food, music and fashion are just a few things that attracts adoration from those raised with a different version of it. One's family can love country music, but something about those hip-hop drums might be more attractive to you, personally. Doesn't mean you're out of place.

It can be lonely though lol.

Because theres many non-white races so it makes sense for everyone to condense into the one privileged race. We can end racism here and now with our transracial brothers and sisters and theys!

I have a joke about this being how white people get around diverse hiring, so they can keep holding onto as much money as possible.

It goes like....wait, that was it. That was the whole thing.

But nah, it's not an implication it is too obvious ar this point

I use you not agreeing with me as my compass for knowing Im on the right path. Appreciate it. Also, it's kind pf funny when you're not sensitive. The premise is solid at the very least.

No, it's not imo. You cannot change your genetics enough for you to "be a different race". Were all human, just take that and go with it. A white person deciding to "be black" or a a black person "deciding to be japanese" just arent... viable. And it goes for all the rest. Just run with where you were born. The rest doesnt matter, and you cant change it.

With gender it makes sense. There are aspects of gender that could have someone in the wrong body

With race it's not a valid concern. Every race is 99% the same . It's all about looks. You don't need to look like another race to embrace their culture
