I am very happy with my race and ethnicity. I think that being a young, educated Black woman has made me more aware of certain things. I think that I am more conscious of other people's feelings because I know how it feels to have someone say something ignorant to or about you and not even realize that you have been offended.
I think if anything, I would be white maybe for one day, just to see what it's like. Just to sit in on private conversations and hear what other people say about me and Blacks as a whole, when we are not around.
