No. I guess because I have never considered my race to be a factor in the things that I do in my day to day life.
Not really. People should be proud of who they are, but not arrogant. I was a little jealous when my half Indian half white friend was getting racial minority scholarships left and right in his college search, though...
Ohio State and Miami of Ohio were recently accused of racial bias AGAINST white people in their admissions. I almost think the race portion of college applications should be omitted altogether.

Do you speak spanish?. Also i wouldnt assume Hispanic is a race cause that could mean an asian looking person born in brazil
Not really :P It's an ethnicity, but I presumed it was along the lines of what the TC was asking.No. I'm Hispanic and female, I think that can have its advantages.

I don't know how much someone else may agree with me, but I think there are small advantages that can come with being a minority or a certain sex. It hardly makes up the basis for making one seem appealing, but it certainly doesn't hurt (depending on the situation). A lot of colleges or employers like to build diversity, so I do think it can be more of an aid rather than hindrance.I definitely would at times for the sole reason that people would actually listen to me and respect what I'm saying when I'm saying it. For example, if I'm white and say, "Black people need to stop blaming white people and start actually dealing with their problems. It does no good to bring up slavery when you were never a slave and the people who you are talking to have never been slave owners," I would be ridiculed for being extremely racist or ignorant. However, if I'm black and say that, I suddenly gain an immense amount of authority and the subject can actually become a legit talking point.
Actually no, you wouldn't. Know why? Because, to most blacks, you'd be stating the obvious and be considered way behind the curve.I definitely would at times for the sole reason that people would actually listen to me and respect what I'm saying when I'm saying it.

The ignorance in this post...And all of it is wrong.I definitely would at times for the sole reason that people would actually listen to me and respect what I'm saying when I'm saying it.

A different race? No. An entirely different kind of being? Yes. I want to become a godlike being, like Dr. Manhattan. Wouldn't need to sleep, eat, deficate, urinate, etc. I'd never have to worry about being too cold, or too hot. I'd never get sick. I'd be physically imprevious to everything. I'd be perfect.
