    “people will assign you a race and not everyone can change that perception.”

    jesse-wtf What back and forth? I never said “EVERYONE” can change that perception, I’ve literally stated three times in this thread dark skinned black people cannot do that, also that hypothetical Illinois patty of yours could have maintained the perception if he hadn’t hypnotically opened his mouth and told all those hypothetical Hispanics (none of whom are hypothetically white) that he wasn’t Hispanic, again showing that in real life this stuff is more about perception than folks looking like this or looking like that

      Some white people say “yeah kind of sucks to be insulted for being white.” You ask them why they identify with whiteness. They say they don’t, and they realize race is bullshit, but most of society treats them as white and calls them white anyway.

      I don’t see any way to dispute that last part. How most people treat you certainly doesn’t change because you can check a different box on a form.

        Well I’d dispute it by telling them to get over it, because society doesn’t treat people “as white”, like it’s some sort of burden placed on people who identify with whiteness, on the otherhand society does treat people “as non-white” when they don’t pass, that’s a different story
