Are they really going there? Yes, they apparently are. Too late for Rachel Dolezal, alas. Dolezal identifies as 'transracial' a belief that would have been affirmed if she were a Delaware student today.
The state of Delaware is poised to adopt what is known as “Regulation 225.” Approved both by the Delaware State Education Association and Gov. John Carney, Regulation 225 would safeguard children’s “protected characteristics,” such as gender, age, race, sexual orientation and gender identity. Section 7.4(1) of 225’s Prohibition of Discrimination Code states, “All students enrolled in a Delaware public school may self-identify gender or race, which is maintained in the school.”
Gender isn’t news. But race? Are they really going there? Yes, they apparently are.
Too late for Rachel Dolezal, alas. Remember her? The Spokane, Wash., native became a media sensation in 2015 when she was outed as a white woman passing as black. Dolezal looked the part, with her dark skin and Afro-style hair. Come to think, in Delaware I guess nobody can say she was “passing” anymore. Dolezal identifies as “transracial” — that is, she believes she “is” black, and that belief would have been affirmed if she were a Delaware student today.
If gender isn’t biologically linked, and it’s all about how you feel, then why not race?
Dolezal claimed her identity was a direct analogy to that of a transgender person. She even compared herself to Caitlyn Jenner, who had transitioned around the same time as her story broke. As she said in an interview, “Gender is understood — we’ve progressed, we’ve evolved to understanding that gender is not binary. It’s not even biological. But what strikes me as so odd is that race isn’t biological either.”

Mankind has become utterly pointless.
This may be a good thing. Like all post-modern, leftist ideologies, this will just end in total chaos and absurdity. At which point, the race-mongers and their politicians will have lost.
ROTFL! Ooookay.
We will see about “White privledge” when all those minorities select white as their race (extreme sarcasm).
That process of self destruction may take over twenty years before enough admit it has failed. I hope I’m wrong.
I would choose Talladega or Daytona. Dover isn’t a big enough race.
I declare myself a billionaire. Please deposit the proper amount in my bank account.
Human or not?
This is wonderful news!
I was denied the opportunity to attend one of America’s TOP TOP TOP professional schools. They admitted me immediately upon receiving my application, I still have the acceptance and welcome letter. But when it came to financial aid, they said that 100 percent of the financial aid funds were being reserved for persons of one color, only.
If only regulation 225 been in effect, I could have declared my new racial identify as required to get that fellowship money!
I am not black but want to go for drinks? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89LfQUlcNFk
I truly laughed out loud (lots) over your post...Funniest thing I have seen all year...
except for perhaps the story of Angus P. Wooley, a dog running for Governor of Kansas—hey, he self identifies as human, so what is the problem?

May have had a brain the size of a baseball but even it would never be confused about sex or race.
She should be allowed to identify as a Delaware student today, and if she isn't allowed, Delaware isn't progressive enough!
Yay, I can finally be the gay Asian man I always wanted to be! Maybe I can even be an architect!
I call hobbit.
