Anyway, isn't it funny how people don't bat an eye when someone says they are a different gender, but it's a huge no-no with race? :P
It's even less of an issue with race. Race is far more subjective than gender.

What does she do for set-up and performance then?

Now there is a reference.

I am race-fluid. My pronoun is cablanasian.

No.  I think I'll be the wealthy agricultural baron type of Argie.  Everyone I know who is into farming down there is making a buttload of money.

I thought they were getting fucked on the export taxes.

They are.  But they are still making mo-nay out the yin-yang.  All my evidence is anecdotal, mind.

Besides race is self-identified in the US isn't it?
Exactly. If she says she's black, she's black. There's no objective definition to prove her wrong.

DNA test! :lol:

No? I mean census-wise perhaps but not in everyday experiences.

Fair point. It is more complicated than that.

For some reason I find the idea of them doing a DNA test and having that be your identity hilarious. Scholarships might say 'for those of 30% Polish heritage or higher'.

Things would be so weird.

That would actually be kinda funny.

Huh.  I'm a bit surprised by the reaction to this, particularly in the light of the recent discussions of transexuality.

Different situation.

It's the lying about stuff that makes this one a story.

If she only claimed to be black would it then be okay?

That's not the lying that's problematic. It's when she constantly stages hate crimes for attention.
