[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).

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

So your answer why one is acceptable and one isn’t is “Because that’s just the way it is”?  
Very persuasive. 
And also good to know societies and cultures can’t and don’t ever change. They just keep on keepin’ on with THE WAY IT IS. [/quote]
