OK, the follow-up to my question yesterday on race:


Jul 16, 2019, 11:47 AM

Several people said something like "I would list my race as white because I am white."

It's kind of humorous, but I suppose that's true, in that it's just an automatic thing for most people.

So, let's go next level: How do you decide what race you are? Is it just a thing you determine based on physical features, like skin color? Where your ancestors are from? Something else?

I identify as Hispanic today. Tomorrow may be Asian. Usually

Thursdays are native American. Friday I'm always white though.

Really, when you break it down, the concept of race is silly. We've all got a little bit of everything in us. Race was just a social construct.

National Geographic has a phenomenal issue dedicated to this topic a couple of years ago, and one of the best was a photographer who matched people's skin tone to their Pantone color, then he arranged them in a grid. It's amazing how arbitrary the concept of race is when you put them all side by side.

The concept of race hasn't ever really been fair.

Black people are way faster than the rest of us in most any race.

It's not what race we are, but what race we identify as, right?
