I’m a transracial. I identify as a black man even though I am white. We need to count transracials according to the race by which they identify themselves. We need to quit asking people “What race are you?” and start asking “According to your current feelings, what race are you??”.

"“According to your current feelings, what race are you??”."

When I was a kid, my favorite athletes were Hank Aaron and Elgin Baylor. During my teens and twenties, I was deeply interested in blues music and once was the only white person attending a concert by Jimmy Witherspoon. Perhaps in those days I could have semi-seriously claimed to identify with blackness. But in recent years, that has all gone away - the politics of the black community, the decline in black culture, the rise of rap, the Obama worship, all utterly turn me off.

How about starting with just saying “American Citizen”? That might be one step in reducing racism.

I’m American Indian heritage but never identify myself as anything but an American.
