How would you describe your hair color?

Dark Brown.

If your "race" isn't obvious, or is questionable, go with the one that you think you identify with most.

All I'm saying is I DON'T identify with one "more than another". I don't really think about it. Not unless someone asks me the question.

If your answer is still "other," that pretty much means you're "white", anyhow. But if "other's" still more fitting to you, that's what it's there for.

I suppose. But I don't really want all the baggage that comes with that. It's a personal choice. Sorry if you don't like it.

I only say don't choose "other" because you don't like racial categorization, because like it or not, certain people look different from other people. Everything else is culture.

Okay. if it's about looks, why would looks matter? If LOOKS are what is important then why not ask how much I weigh? Or my hair color or something? Knowing a person is "white" doesn't tell you weather or not they have blonde, brown, red or white hair. Height/weight/measurement questions would be much more suitable because they can give you an idea of mass etc.

But I don't think it's about that. I think it's about culture. And in identifying with one race you identify with their culture. That is difficult for me, weather anyone agrees with me or not. It just is.

I do choose "other" and will continue to do so because I specifically do NOT identify with a racial group. It has very little to do with "wanting a better world". I DON'T have strong "racial" ties. And in chosing other, I don't chose one tendancy ovver another. I read Latina magazines, watch and enjoy both Latin and African American entertainment, I enjoy studying my Native American heratige and I think that some Asian or "Oriental" cultures have it far closer to right when it comes to systems of honor and obligation. As for social behaviors, I tend to act in a way that more closely resembles Deaf culture and that is entirely seprate from ANY race.

I don't feel like a "white" person is supposed to.

Sorry.
