Scholarships anyone? Business loans anyone?


I was thinking along the same lines. If it gets me benefits that others have and I can "identify with"...why not?

Maybe this is the end of Affirmative action this way.

I identify as an Aleutian Eskimo.

Shoe-in to get scholarships to both Harvard and Yale.

Yes, they should. Why stop at bathrooms?

The WNBA may become watchable if they allowed trannys to play in the league.

I do as well. But on college application day, it would be great for my son to start feeling a little darker

This whole LBGT controversy got me thinking. If our society has reached at point where we allow individuals to act out their preferred gender and get gender reassignment surgery paid for by insurance companies then what's next? I think it is color. But the strange thing is that the BLM/SJW don't seem to want white peoples posing as AA. White men get harassed for dreads and white women with PhDs in AA studies who pose as AA representatives get shamed. This needs to stop. You should be able to act out whichever color you are most comfortable. I have always felt as though I am a black man trapped inside a white man's body. Can I get a witness?


Are we supposed to think you are clever? Do you not watch the news? Rachel Dolezal says hello.

I don't often get tied up in the Pandora's box argument on most things, but this identify stuff is hard to ignore.

Logically, if you can pick and choose something as indisputable as your gender, and people are required to treat you all the same, then I don't see how you can prohibit someone from choosing their race.

I'd welcome arguments from people who feel differently, but I've got a sneaky suspicion you'll have a hard time defending one while admonishing the other. Choosing your gender and choosing your race are not mutually exclusive topics. You're either for both or against both, or you're ballcaster.

When they dig up our remains in 10,000 years, they will look at this point in our history as the beginning of our demise and call it the "Era of Great Confusion"

How many "identities" can I have?

How often can I change my identity?
Do I need to file said identities as aliases?

Then you better start saying "Inuit". The word "Eskimo" is offensive and means "Eaters of Raw Fish". That's not what they call themselves.

"Inuit" means "We, The Real People".
