We could turn this around for any ethnicity and it would make for a great discussion, as in what do you think life would have been like had you been born as another race? I like hearing the opinions from many of you and I would like to hear what you would think life would be like had you been born another color/race/ethnicity, hell we'll even throw in social/economic backgrounds (w/o taking a sociologist's pov).

On a sidenote, I would strongly encourage anyone (black, white, red, orange) to take some classes in African History, or something that I took, African American Literature. This course opened up my eyes in many more ways than I thought it could. This class taught me more in a semester than almost all of my classes have in three years. Sadly, I hated the professor at first because I thought she was giving me a hard time because I was white (one of only three white students that took that class during the semester). I later came to find out that she was interested in why I took the class and if I truly wanted to learn. Once she found out that I did, she began to "teach me" and I still talk to her about once a week.
