In reply to the discussion: Rachel Dolezal Changes Her Name To Nkechi Amare Diallo [View all]ThirdEye
(204 posts)4. Honest question
My buddies and I love nuanced discussions about ideas, so we asked ourselves: "if one can assert their real gender is not the one that matches their biological sex, can the same be said for race?"
It feels like the answer is no, it's not the same. However, we couldn't come up a compelling reason it's different. We could only conclude that we'd defer to the experts.
Can anyone here on DU provide some legitimate insight?
(note: I know Rachel's case is different because of the deception)

This isn't an attempt to garner more attention, it's an attempt to outrun it.
