If you could choose to be born into the same race/country would you?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Would you?</p>

<p>I don't think I'd mind...really haha.</p>

<p>But it would be kind of cool to be something else like Italian,Greek,Indian,Lebanese,Bazilian etc... lol</p>

2

<p>It’d be cool to be a mix.</p>

3

<p>Same country… It might be cool to have been born a Jew.</p>

4

<p>I dunno. I’m 50% Italian, 25% Lithuanian, and 25% Israeli.
I think I’d cut the Italian in half and add another ethnicity.</p>

5

<p>^^^Why would you want to be Jewish (I am)?</p>

6

<p>Although i am 1/8th Native American, i would like to be at least half so I could reap the benefits of getting scholarship money that I DESPERATELY need</p>

7

<p>^What if that means you would be living on a reservation? Would you still do it?</p>

8

<p>Sometimes it would be nice to have white people hair. :slight_smile: But other than that, I’m pretty happy with being a black American.</p>

9

<p>^All white people have the same hair? News to me.</p>

<p>Well, I do know there was that Chris Rock documentary called “hair” which is about black people’s hair, right? And I read an article a black woman wrote about her hair. And Tyra Banks made a big deal about wearing her “real hair.” So maybe I’m out of line to say that comment! IDK!</p>

<p>This thread worries me…no one be unhappy with who they are! :smiley: Cheesy, I know. :)</p>

10

<p>^Nah, I guess I should have said hair that’s more easy to manage. Some white people do have some pretty crazy hair!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The grass always looks greener…until you get there and realize that it really is haha</p>

12

<p>I think being British would be cool.</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>Would you be ready to sacrifice dental hygiene haha?</p>

14

<p>^I would. The accent is totally worth it. :p</p>

15

<p>ahahah i’m 75% somali & 25% yemeni</p>

<p>but i suppose i enjoy being somali (and being in MN since it’s somali capital LOL) that i guess some of its ‘perks’ are that i can get free discounts off stuff at the mall…especially when i go to mall of america haha (because a good 70% of the time the cashier is somali as well lmao)…and it’s very ‘homey’…you can instantly become friends with a somali easily and if you recognize one you say Hi…and idk…the community bond is pretty strong haha</p>

16

<p>I’m half Korean and half Chinese. If I had it my way, I’d be 7/8 Korean and 1/8 Native American. Native American for Affirmative Action, Korean for cultural purposes. I don’t identify with Chinese culture at all.</p>

<p>Can I be an elf? Then I get super affirmative action :p</p>

19

<p>So I’ve finally come to the consensus that being that a hot British accent can’t compensate for their horrible teeth. :/</p>

<p>Addressing the question being asked, I don’t mind my race/country. I’m sure other countries/races have their own individual woes. That being said, if I were to be reborn, I would like to turn out as a male. Thank you very much.</p>

<p>^Why the gender switch?</p>
