Since Rachel Dolezal is trending, I'm going to stir the pot and ask (not as snark, but as a genuine article of discussion) how and why her decision to present and live as a black person differs from a man's decision to present and live as a woman.

Race is absolutely socially constructed. As is gender. That doesn’t mean you choose either. You are who you are.

So Rachel is black. Like if it’s socially constructed you cant make a coherent argument of any kind of blackness beyond β€œwell she aint black”

I bet this b-word identifies as black despite being paler than Rachel

Mixed race people are mixed race people who identify with whatever they identify with.

Literally incoherent schizoposting. Doesnt Rachel like try to claim she has mixed race genes? So if a pale person is mixed race suddenly youre okay with it? She tries to argue against Rachel by supporting her

Another related question would be what if someone thinks they're mixed race but actually aren't? If they identify as black based on this false belief, are they actually black or not?
