This is a normal post If you can identify as transexual, why not transracial?
I must admit that when I first learned of the concept during all the Rachel Dolezal controversy, I thought the woman was off her fucking rocker. But I do feel it's a valid point.
If you can identify as being female, despite being born into a biologically male body, then what's to say you can't reasonably identify as black, despite being born into a biologically white body?
If anything, I'd imagine there's a far greater disparity between male and female physiology than there is between black and white.
Is there some rule in place that you can only identify as black if at least one of your parents are black?

This is a normal post There is a racist rule where one drop of 'black' blood means you're not 'white'.
Offensive nonsense of course, along with most racial distinctions. There are 'black' people in Africa who are more closely (DNA based) related to 'white' europeans than the other 'black' people around them.
The sooner people give up these dumb divisions the better.

There are medical conditions found in particular populations, but not large intrinsic physiological differences AFAIK.

This is a normal post In brazil, a mostly mixed race country, it's wierdly different
only people with the very darkest skin would call themselves black (preto), and people who we might consider black (such as someone with the skin tone of Obama) will refer to themselves as white (branca) or intermediate terms like pardo and moreno or even quite specific terms like morena branca. (light mixed). The trend has always been for people to consider themselves lighter than they are, as white is the prestige group as you might expect in a country which had far more slaves than America, but I read some recent research that this is changing with a small but growing US style black consciousness/pride movement, with more young people now calling themselves preto.

This is a normal post Isn't the whole 'darker than' prejudice ultimately related to class.
In most countries, people who work in agriculture will get more sun exposure than those in more indoor pursuits deemed higher class/caste.
Even within a particular skin colour some will create distinctions eg. ruddy peasants versus pale intellectual types.
I despair of humans, how did I end up on this planet.

This is a normal post I think that might be only for countries that didn't import millions of west african slaves
But you're probably right about countries like italy and spain and the rural poor
though it was different in the 70s, when a tan was also a sign of wealth which showed you could afford air travel to tropical countries in winter, but with the rise of fake tans (and a general acknowledgement in Australia that 30% skin cancer rates were probably overdoing it a bit) it's now low class again
