I'm not saying that society doesn't see me as white or that I don't reap the benefits...I'm saying that race as a concept is terribly wrong to me, so I prefer not to identify myself racially. The problem is not that I don't want to be white...it's that I don't want to be any "color" and that's a separate issue altogether from my concern for anyone else.
And this right here drives me crazy.
