Choose your race

[Reginald Hudlin]

If you could choose any race - OTHER THAN YOUR OWN - which would you choose?  Black, white, Asian, Latino, Native American, Aboriginal? 

[Marvelous]

Damn Reggie!  I can't think of one! 

[Lion]

I agree with Marv; that's a pretty evil question.

I'd pick White. If I'm going to be forced to change races, I'll take what gets me the most opportunity.

At the very least, I could walk around openly with a gun and not have to worry about being shot dead for walking around openly with a gun.

Suppose you're more than one? Could someone choose a different mix?

I self-identify as DEANA (descended from enslaved Africans in North America), but I get perceived as Dominican, Ethiopian, Egyptian, Moroccan, Algerian, Puerto Rican, Punjabi, Bangladeshi, Brazilian, Guyanese, and Filipino.

If I had to choose a different mix, it would probably be Ethiopian Hebrew and Polynesian.

In America?

White and male.

Anywhere else, Chinese and male.

Chinese and male in Europe?  In Latin America?  Why is that better than white and male in those places?

Because Chinese men quietly go about their business of gathering intel from all over the world via the universities/colleges and technology organizations.  They take the intel home for adaptation to their own practices or they catalog it for later use.  They accomplish this with minimal push-back, because they're not perceived as threatening. 
In Amurika, brute and brawn still trump intelligence.

Well... we know what Rachel Dolezal picked...

Haha.
I'm fundamentally indifferent as to race. My twisted mind, however, immediately starts veering to ... what women in what ethnic groups do I find myself drawn to. Not itself an easy question ... as there are beautiful women of all ethnicities. But for reasons I don't know, I find Persian (Iranian) and Indian (from India) women particularly strikingly beautiful. So I guess if I had to pick, starting life over, I would pick being a Persian lesbian woman or an Indian man. 😘

I applaud your logic!

Ms. Wandi is 1 trillion percent correct!

Lien u dum! 

[Michael Jewett]

  I'm going to go with Ethnic White. Something Eastern European.

[Reginald Hudlin]

I love being black.  So much I could even consider this question for weeks.  But if I were to be something over than myself, then I want a very different experience.  So I want Robert Redford white to really see what that world is like.
