I do sometimes I am Scottish, Irish, British, and Maltese. Right now I am going through a stage where I kind of wish I was Italian, and the reason may sound a bit silly but i've started getting into the whole clubbing thing and i dunno it just seems Italians are better at it :P so what about you guys?

I'm italian, and I'm somewhat embarrassed by the questions I get asked after all this jersey shore stuff, people apparently now assume that every italian is either in a mob or a drunk, fist pumping mess.

If I were to be anything else, i'd like to be an aussie.

That reason doesn't sound a bit silly, it sounds a hell of a lot silly.

Well he was stating that his race was superior... and ultimately it is just an impossible ideal. Life isn't simple.

Yea. I wish I could have been black or hispanic for a few months when I was applying to law school and post-graduate school. I would have gotten into Harvard Law no question, and probably the Columbia LL.M. program.

Yes.

I wish I wasn't Mexican, because everyone thinks Mexicans are ALL illegal immigrants. And plus I look really white and have a Mexican name, so it's weird.

[QUOTE="Diablo112688"]I wish there was only one race so maybe then we wouldn't be so distant from one another. magicalclick
But, then everyone looks the same and boring.

If everybody looked the same, we wouldn't have problems with race and ethnicity. The Holocaust and Holodomor probably could have been avoided, too. Racial tensions and racism wouldn't exist. So, do you think it's still better for race as a social construct to exist? Is "diversity" worth it? Is it all for the sake of not being "boring"? Even when so much crap has happened because of the existence of race as a social construct? Which is better? Everyone looking the same and being so-called "boring" with no racial hatred and discrimination or people looking different and having ethnically diverse societies but with a crap load of racial hatred and discrimination?

well, this is a bit daft, but i'm quite consious of having slightly yellow teeth, so i guess being African-American would be cool in that sense, because they always seem to have lovely white teeth

Nah, I think that's more because their skin is so dark that their teeth look ultra white in comparison.

I'm fine being of European descent.

I just wish that I was 50/50 Scandinavian/French than 75/25 Scandinavian/French though.

I'm 75% Scandinavian, yet I don't look Scandinavian at all! It's too weird!:cry::P

It's like being 75% black and 25% white and looking 100% white. :P

Since discrimination exists in every race/ethnicity, I'm happy the way I am.
