Social Constructs and Identity

Not always. Mrs. CCU was turned down for a Native American scholarship b/c the committee didn't believe she had the heritage. 2 years later (and same committee members), her sister got the scholarship.

The difference - my SiL looks straight up like an Indian - round face, olive complexion, dark hair, etc... . Mrs.CCU - like a blond hair/blue eyed German with kinky African hair.

Tell me more about these women:
Did I ever mention... I love women every way God makes 'em

* too creepy..?

In a JSO or Roy Moore kind of way?



Wait...was that redundant?

This becomes the part that actually is a serious issue. 89Jr didn't get into the college he had his heart set on (saved me a ton of money), but he absolutely could have put "Hispanic" on his application and he most likely would have gotten in. My wife's GGF was from Spain.

There were no interviews at this school.

I'm not understanding what the issue is? "Filipino" is cultural...while Malay is the race (calling this transracial seems a stretch). And people enjoy and buy into different cultural archtypes all the time. What's the difference between this and someone buying into the cowboy culture, or nerd culture, or Latin culture, or Japanophile culture?

The beauty of this country is you can be whatever the fuck you want as long as you don't hurt anyone. Seems like a complete non-story.

The fact that you can self identify however you want and that upsets some people is absolutely hilarious. They don't have to recognize you or your cultural, racial, or gender identity and yet you still get to cross-dress, dye your skin, or pretend you're irish.

Jenner, Dolezal, and those who have issues with cultural appropriation are silly persons. It's just really no big deal.

People can identify any way they wish and that doesn't upset me any way whatsoever. What does piss me off are the people who want to call you a bigot, misogynist, anti-LBGQTBR549er, etc. because you don't call a person who is obviously and biologically a guy a chick and vice versa.

Bingo. According to the left, if someone refers to Bruce Jenner as a guy (he is a male) then that person is somehow a bigot. If you don't believe you can change biology, you are a bigot..

I love how we resort to the racial characteristics side of eugenics to determine if someone belongs to an oppressed group or not

Of course I think this thread raised an issue of great social and philosophical import but what on EARTH caused someone to search it out and resurrect it?

The article I linked was relevant. "Transracial" was already being talked about on here..Didn't take but a few seconds to type in 'transracial' in the search box and have this and a couple other threads pop up. Think this was the most recent. I'll sometimes post something that I don't think is worth starting a new thread for, so I'll attach it to an older thread talking about the same thing. I know you like to start multiple threads on the same topic, but I saw no reason to start another thread talking about the same thing...
