Discussion: If you had opportunities to change ethnicity, would you?

Like, let's say you can take a pill and magically become white/black/Latino/Asian/Whatever you desire...is that something that sounds appealing?

No I am happy with who I am and I believe everyone should be. It's unfortunate that so many people aren't because of the racism and discrimination in this world. The only thing I would take a pill for is to make myself better health wise.

Robotic

No, I am happy with being black.

Callisto.

But two of those aren't an ethnicity and the other two are pan ethnicity?

Haribo

No, I'm good with being latino.

BeyonceHatesMe

Nah. I have so many kii's from being black.

Medo

Not really, I mean if It started off with the way I look now
and then edited other features to make me another ethnicity, then maybe.

But if I would look completely different there's the chance it'd make me ugly so no.

What I would like is pick a whole bunch of different ethnicities and mix a new one up for myself. Would be cool.

I mean I love being Arab especially my skin tone but if I can change I'd go to Caucasian.

Rihinvention

I'd love to be black

But I'm also fine with being white.

fineandbambi

No because I like the fact that I'm aging well.

I wouldn't change my ethnicity. I like being of Hispanic heritage. My Latin roots are a part of who I am. Even if I was another ethnicity, I wouldn't change it to another either. Every ethnicity has a rich culture and history and to be ashamed of who you are or where you came from is awful.

ReginaPhalange

I wouldn't mind JLo's colouring, but i'm very happy being Caucasian

Rascal

Intrinsically, there's no problem with being any ethnicity, and so I wouldn't mind whatever ethnicity I could be.

HOWEVER, since unfortunately conflicts and issues exist in the world today, I'd probably be best staying white and benefitting from the institutional privilege that comes with it where I am living

I Am Music

No thanks.

Na...I'm a hybrid, Irish/Jamaican...so I can bout fit in anywhere.

psychodj

Only if I have the option to change back to my original ethnicity. I would do it just to see what it's like being of a different ethnicity.

Stan

Hmmm, don't think I would.

I always thought the United Kingdom was pretty good on race equality?

Tbh I don't know for sure ... But practically everyone who's complaining about immigration is white and if you ask me the complaints are rooted in xenophobia/racism. I don't think it's as big an issue as in the States, though.
