I will gladly accept Rachel as black if I can be considered white from now on and enjoy all of the white privileges that go along with that. Thank you.

Wait, you mean he doesn't feel like he's that Filipino...?
In Manilla he would be confronted 24/7 with the fact that he isn't Filipino. In Tampa he can pretend.

Another white privilege kool aid drinker.

The people that should be pissed off are the Asian folks. They are getting turned away to make room for less qualified non-whites for positions in various college campuses. Nope, they just keep working hard and know that hard work pays off, no matter what flavor a person is.

She got booted from the NAACP so no, it wasn't accepted. You might but others won't and didn't.

When I read the thread title (before clicking on it), the first thing I though about....'he'd make a good match for Rachel Dolezal'.

I also want people to acknowledge me as the age I feel inside as opposed to my actual age. That would be considered trans-what?

If anybody has privilege, it’s the black people. By law, they get preferential treatment.
