Well, to be fair, Identity Politics was indeed started by liberals.

Check your status here:

- black or African
- white
- Asian
- Hispanic
- Native American
- two or more races
- other
- in love with a tree
- polyamorous
- bisexual ambidextrous
- pansexual wiccan
- still deciding
- Brony

Each day, without fail, my middle school daughter would share some story about how another kid in her class has either switched gender or had embraced some other "form."  I can no longer keep up. [/quote]

So?  [/quote]

My rising junior dd recently filled out some info form on a college website. She was telling me that it not only presented about 10+ gender identity options, but the race question actually was phrased as "[b]which race do you identify as[/b]." I suppose we can all just choose whatever we want now. It's like identity mad libs.[/quote]

I fail to see the problem with this statement. I am half white and half URM. I always identify white. Remember your life experience is not universal to all.[/quote]
Fine. Then I'm guessing it's OK if I identify as black?[/quote]

Sure...but you KNOW you don't really want to be black.  And that is the question I ask my White friends when they start whining about issues like this.  Would you trade places with that person - not just the parts you see as an advantage, but the entire experience?  [/quote]

But maybe I would like to be black, since we are basically taught we need to be ashamed that we are white. [/quote]

so maybe you can answer the question. Would you rather be black?[/quote]

Some days, I think I might. I'm white. I grew up here, as a minority. Was excluded and ridiculed constantly. In 4th grade, someone took all my folders and drew dots on them (I have freckles). I actually wrote my college admissions essay in 1995 on the racism I had experienced. I work in an office where I am one of only two white people. This doesn't bother me. I adore my co workers, but the topics of conversation often include "white privelige" and calling white people "trump-supporters. I will never understand how this is ok. [/quote]
