What were you thinking you can’t identify as other ethnicities you don’t know their culture and what it truly represents and it would be disrespectful for them for you to appropriate their cultures only for saying the n word and even if you want to be black you can’t appropriate their culture. Its called rcta which mean race change to another. You cannot say the n word even if you identify as black. (I think)

Ethnicity depends on genetics, you can't pick and choose it

this is just the harvard definiton
but yeah like people said; race/ethnicity is tied to region of origin?
so unless you can change your genes, which im unsure if you can do unless like you were in a sci fi movie
it doesnt make much sense for you to identify as another race/ethnicity
ive heard of people who claim to be "transracial" or to have grown up in different cultural settings -> say they act "[insert race here]", or maybe even end up claiming theyre another race
although they may have been raised in, and emulate a culture that resembles a culture originating from a certain ethnicity, that does not mean that their genes changed as a result.
though i dont know if there are more wider expanses or definitons of race and ethnicity out there, id say the convention is that if you identified as another race, people would make fun of you and think you are stupid
so i guess make do with that what you will
what i also find funny about this pdf is that there is no central asia 😎
or iran 🇮🇷

Genetics, not region of origin. If you're a Chinese couple and have a daughter while in Italy she won't be ethnically Italian

well no, race is genetics. ethnicity is a personal identity. but you can't chose to be different race, like being black.
quiet urchin
you have it the other way around
people don't care about race at least in europe. Ethnicity might determine some things medically but a doctor will never look at your race, and people don't feel the need to state it or identify with it. That this works differently by culture, for example by comparison with the usa, makes it a social construct. It may be built on top of genetics but it isn't an objective factor just because of that. What is objective is your mix of genes, which is measurable and constant regardless of where you are or grew up in the world, and will never ever be one single clear label like white or black

anyway at this point we're just discussing nomenclature

So that you can say slurs freely, obviously. Life pro tip

lol dumb reason
but like do you guys consider your race a factor of identity? Because sure your culture may shape you views and possibly your identity, but race and skin colour alone?

They only do in countries where ethnicities are segregated, like in the usa
