[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ask this seriously, but [b]who cares if she decides to portray herself as Asian now? Or if she previously portrayed herself as Latina?[/b] Why is it so bad? Why can one portray themselves as a different gender but not a different ethnicity? What makes ethnicity so sacrosanct but not gender?[/quote]

Please ask this question online under your real name. You will get some answers.[/quote]
Why can't anyone answer my question?[/quote]

Here’s an answer to your disingenuous question that you’re trying to use to call out transgenderism: it’s not okay to pretend to be another race.[/quote]

I didn’t read it as the PP calling out trandgenderism. It’s a valid question - [b]why is identifying as a different gender ok but identifying as a different race not?[/b][/quote]

You'll have to take up this question with world history, considering lots civilizations across millennia have had varying forms of transgenderism or cross-dressing and it was deemed socially acceptable in certain contexts.

Meanwhile, the only times you've had people trying to cosplay a different ethnicity was when it gave them a sense of safety (see: "passing" by light skinned black people during the slavery & Jim Crow eras, Jewish people during the Holocaust, etc) or in ways that were fundamentally rooted in disrespect and stereotyping (see: black face on the stage/TV).

The history of world societies has treated transgenderism differently from ethnic cosplay. The world isn't fair. Deal with it.[/quote]

You’re right it isn’t fair. So here we are discussing it. Deal with it. [/quote]
