LOLI am transethnic

submitted by fschmidt from self.TumblrInAction

I am trans-ethnic, not trans-race. Ethnicity and race are not the same thing. Race is genetic and cannot be changed. Ethnicity is group identity and can be changed. If a French guy moves to America and fully absorbs American culture and identifies as American then he is racially French but ethnically American, so he is trans-ethnic.

Race is genetic and cannot be changed.

Talcum X and his sidekick Rachel Dolezal would argue that point.

I don't know who these people are, and I don't want to know. And now if you'll excuse me, I think I will watch a Vincent Price horror flick. I have no interest in modern scum.

I can appreciate and understand that desire, because it does get tiresome knowing who the various muppets are. But do remember that these people are working hard to game the system, often to your detriment, and knowing at least enough about them to at least recognize their particular grift isn't a bad thing.

I think the people who are dealing best with modern insanity are the Amish and other traditional Anabaptists. They are not really ethnically American because they consider themselves to members of "the kingdom of God", not really Americans. So basically I encourage decent Americans go trans-ethnic and stop considering themselves Americans, as I did. After that, the internal struggles of America become uninteresting and one just wants to build a life outside the culture.

Stop giving them ideas.

Nah, it's worse than that. Oli London already tried this.

This is worse than satirizing these people, it's satire that's already been done completely seriously.

Give it a few more years. Sadly I wouldn't be surprised if they started doing this.

There is some chance it might get bigger, although I’m pretty much sure they would be afraid of being cancelled - nothing wrong for them with putting on womanface though.

I'm trans-continental.

CHOO-CHOO!

I'm racially white, but identify as ethnically black. If you don't hire me to play a black character in that movie, you are transethnicphobic. Cis-black people owe us all their rights, a trans-black person threw the first brick and started the Black Panthers.

Lol. Sounds like a recipe for civil war. I wonder how BLM would react. Some of them would just roll with it, but I reckon most of them would "gatekeep" being black and accuse "transethnics" of not being real blacks. Chaos would ensue and it would be hilarious as fuck.

Yeah but not looking like the race your ethnicity matches is really traumatic. Changing your name, having phenotype surgery and changing skin tone is usually the best option to deal with this.
