Are you hoping to come up with an "identity" based off the poll AnUnidentifiedMale? Just curious. If so, right now its trending towards not being gay or fat.

It would be kind of convenient to be black once and a while so I could go certain places and not worry about getting shot... that, and its a bit awkward when I go hang out around black people with no white people around and its the same vice versa for them. Asians and Latinos seem to mesh with white people no problem.
How does this even approach making sense when Blacks are the most likely to die by homicide? How does this make sense?

Well, it's a difficult decision seeing as some of the choices are more hardwired I suppose, than others. It would be a great difficulty for me to turn black or become shorter, but you can change your religion or weight.

I guess I wouldn't want to be a male, if I had to chose something that would be immensely difficult to change. I quite like being a woman

Yeah, I understand. I guess the question really should have been "In your opinion, which group faces the most discrimination?" I tried to make it more interesting than that, but maybe it didn't work.

I think enough votes are in to indicate a "winner":

Congratulations, gays. You're considered the biggest losers in society.

Fat people are a close second.

Okay, I'm joking about the "loser" status - well, sort of. The point of this was to prove to one of the other posters on this board that some groups really do face more discrimination than others, contrary to what he believes.

If I could have a 'good' metabolism and eat what I wanted, I would very happily be short, tall, gay or straight or any race, religion or creed on the poll.
