If it’s socially acceptable for people to identify as a different gender, would the same logic apply to choosing a different race? Aldo asks students at UCLA what they think and whether there’s a double standard when it comes to “blackface” vs. “woman-face.”

Some people even think they can choose their species. How do you tell whether something is a dog or a cat? If the cat barks, it’s a dog.
Change your species?
Cue the Rachel Dolezal pix.
Of course. Anything is possible in the land of make believe.
If all it takes to be a woman is makeup, then spray tan makes someone African American.
Sure. My species, too...
You get reparations! And you get reparations! And you get...

This IN lawmaker is trolling liberal communist insane people.
He includes checking off the “black” box.
Why can we not claim to be specific people, FTM? How about everyone be Napoleon?
Already voted. I can also choose my age and economic status.
It’s not gender, it’s sex, and you can’t choose your sex. Sex is binary: there are two possible values and only two. There is no value in-between the two, and there is no moving from one value to the other.
A person can ALREADY choose the race by which he wants to be identified. Obama chose black, and not white. He had one black parent and one white. He chose to be identified as black. He could have chosen white.
A person with ONE great-great-great grandparent who was black can choose to be identified as black.
Kamala Harris has an Indian parent and a Jamaican parent. She passes as black.
It’s just that no white is allowed to declare himself black in order to gain all the privileges that go with that choice. Rachel Dolezal, for example.
So you have to have some black in your background before you can declare yourself as black, or else you are shunned, fired, canceled, ostracized and condemned.
Totally defies logic.
I identify as a black cat.
People are sheep. They believe what they are told to believe. And one these days, the sheep will be told that they are dinner. They’ll be fine with that.
According to the left, “gender” is supposed to exist in a spectrum, despite the fact that biologically (except for the rare cases of people with something like Klinefelter’s syndrome), everybody is either XX or XY chromosomaly - there’s no “60% XX / 40% XY” humans.
But race (at least as regards minorities) is not usually considered a spectrum, although biologically it is. Obama is supposedly our first black president, although if you sent in a sample of his DNA to Ancestry.com, the results would come back as something like 50% black, 50% white. Megan Markle’s kids would likely test out as about 25% black, but they’d probably qualify for minority scholarships for blacks at most US schools.
So with no biological backing, males can be females, or imagine they’re in some nebulous point on a (non-existent) male / female spectrum - but where you really do have a biological spectrum, that sort of identification is usually not permitted.
Why not? If genetics don’t mean anything, then genetics don’t mean anything.
Thinking you can change your gender is like thinking adopted Asian babies become Caucasian when they are raised by whites in the US.
And, apparently one can now choose to have a disability as well. Is this a great country or what?!
Well, Ward Churchill, Liz Warren, Iron Eyes Cody & Michael Jackson did. so I guess you can.
If you can't explain it, then you don't know it.
“Cue the Rachel Dolezal pix”
Oh Yeah, I forgot about her. But really she is pretty easy to forget.
