IF A "HENRY" CAN CHOOSE TO BE A "HENRIETTA", THEN WHY CAN'T A WHITE PERSON CHOOSE TO BE A BLACK PERSON - AND, THEN (WHEN APPLYING TO A SCHOOL OR A JOB), REAP THE BENEFITS OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AS A RESULT?
JUST ASKING.
SERIOUSLY: THE SOLUTION - AS FAR AS APPLICATIONS IS CONCERNED - IS MAKING GENDER AND RACE IRRELEVANT WHEN APPLYING FOR ANYTHING.
AS DR. M.L. KING JR. SAID: PEOPLE SHOULD BE BASED ON THE CONTENT OF THE CHARACTER AND NOT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN.
OR THEIR GENITALIA. OR THEIR SEXUAL PREFERENCE.
AS FAR AS HOW PEOPLE "SELF-IDENTIFY":
WE SHOULD DISTINGUISH BETWEEN REALITY AND FANTASY.
JUST BECAUSE A PERSON FANTASIZES THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE NOT DOESN'T MAKE THEM SO.
AND IF A SURGEON MAKES IT SO, ALL THEY HAVE DONE IS ALTER THE EXTERNAL/EXTERIOR FACADE TO MAKE IT CONFORM WITH THE FANTASY.
BUT IT REMAINS A FANTASY, NONETHELESS.
DEDICATED TO EXPOSING DISINFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA AND TO PROMOTING UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS - WITH SHARP ANALYSIS AND BLUNT COMMENTARY. NO ADS. NO TIP-JAR. JUST THE TRUTH.
Well, Obama chose his race, so there you go.
