Anyways, do you have any proof that race identity exists besides this woman? Are there any successful researches on this? And your examples are pretty bad. Yes, it's more acceptable for white people to listen to music by black artists, but that doesn't mean they want to be black. They get called white by others, but they literally don't care. Like I said, there's a reason why there are so much more transgender people, because it actually exists. Some people even identify as genderless, but you won't see people calling themselves "raceless" or something like that. A transgender woman won't be happy when she's dressing like a woman, but you still call her a man. I mean, it's logical we would identify as a certain gender, but not as a certain race because race really doesn't matter. Men and women traditionally have different roles, so it's normal they would feel like they are a certain gender. Race is something like hair color or eye color, it just doesn't matter. What's next? Someone who pretends to identify as having a different eye color?
And yes, it's transphobic because you're comparing a real issue like transgenderism to something that was made up by a woman that attaches way too much importance on her race for some reason, she probably thinks she has to be black to be able to fight for the rights of minorities. |
Um... yes?! There are many minorities who do that - especially black people that identify as BLACK. Statements á la "I'm proud to be BLACK" don't come out of nowhere, y'know? Some black people would punch the **** out of you if you told them they were "acting white" or "no real blacks".
And stop acting like race has been solely defined by looks. There are also characteristics, stereotypes and traditional roles attached to that category. Asian men for example are still not being taken seriously as sexual beings in the western world, black men are still being considered criminal, and black women are being considered sassy. And that's the point: Rachel probably doesn't wake up in the morning and believe her skin complexion is dark (she's obviously trying to get there, though
), but she rather identifies with being part of black culture.
And yes, there are some scientific proofs that our sexuality is not natural, at least not the way we are acting out sexually. We are actually born pansexual, and, naturally, we wouldn't care who we ****, we would just ****. Disgust, exclusion, and phobias are all learned behaviour, caused by racial and gender stereotyping, among other things.
Stop throwing around the word transphobia like you'd know what it means. You obviously don't.
PS: My examples are indeed pretty bad and simple, but I was using them to make **** easier to understand (for you). However, it's obvious that not even using the dullest simplifications is working in your case.
Oh my god.
As if we didn't know that already
