At the same time, I wonder about the mental soundness of people who are unrelenting about self-identifying with certain things.
If a person of African descent wants to identify as white, is that okay because that's what THEY want? Sure, it's technically okay because this is all socially constructed. But does calling yourself a "Brown American," for example, prove some kind of point or make the person feel vindicated?
Then I also wonder if the person REALLY identifies with something or just vocalizes it when such topics come up. Being a "brown American"
in this thread is different from considering yourself one everyday, putting that down on paperwork, and correcting people/informing people that you are a "brown American."
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
