I have no idea. She thinks she was born in the wrong skin color. Something to do with liking Aretha Franklin.

Scots is either a closely-related language or just another dialect. Where the line is drawn is essentially subjective. In any case, the Ulster-Scots are much more akin to the English than they are to the Irish.
Wow I just got a boner

But.....still not English

I was almost born Asian. True fact. I would have been one of those rare situations where a white woman married an Asian dude

So stupid. How do you feel black? Anything "black" is just a stereotype anyway.

It's just like the transgenders. If a guy doesn't like "manly things", then he is a woman.

Gender identity disorder is real. As for transracialism, I don't know. In theory, I don't see why it couldn't happen, particularly with increased interracial exposure.
