Even though it has long been accepted that race is a social construct, it has been clear to me that many people still equate certain cultures with certain skin colours.
It may make sense to say you're a woman born in a man's body, it doesn't make sense to say you're a black person born in a white person's body. Because it's a purely cultural difference.tin_robot wrote:The quick answer (well, longer than the one you've got already) is that as the article says race is pretty much a one way thing. You can say you're black all you like, but if your skin's white you're still benefiting from a whole bucketload of privilege. Equally, if you have black skin and suddenly declare yourself white, well, you're still going to be the victim of racism. Gender is arguably fairly fluid in our culture, race is not. (I'm hardly an expert on any of this. However I'd say there's a much, much longer answer touching on differences between gender and physical sex versus identity and race, the fact that Dolezal specifically seems to have a very odd idea of what "being black" entails etc etc but really that first bit is all it takes to justify "no".)mistercrayon wrote:Great stuff.Brooks wrote:No.
