Transsexualism Good, Transracialism Bad

[roo_ster]

If there were serious scholarship $$$ on the line, I might be willing to change my kids' middle names.

Also, I can only applaud such monkeywrenching of the system.

As observed below...
Chopping off fleshy bits and pumping yourself full of the opposite sex's hormones to pass as the opposite sex: WONDERFUL!
Chopping off your hair and using your middle name to pass as another race: OUTRAGEOUS!

I got into medical school because I said I was black. The funny thing is, I’m not.

In my junior year of college, I realized that I didn’t have the grades or test scores to get into medical school, at least not as an Indian-American.

Still, I was determined to become a doctor and I knew that admission standards for certain minorities under affirmative action were, let’s say… less stringent?

So, I shaved my head, trimmed my long Indian eyelashes, and applied to medical school as a black man. My change in appearance was so startling that my own fraternity brothers didn’t recognize me at first.  I even joined the Organization of Black Students and started using my embarrassing middle name that I had hidden from all of my friends since I was a 9 years old.

Vijay the Indian-American frat boy become Jojo the African American Affirmative Action applicant to medical school.

Not everything worked out as planned. Cops harassed me. Store clerks accused me of shoplifting. Women were either scared of me or found my bald power dome very attractive. What started as a devious ploy to gain admission to medical school turned into a twisted social experiment.

I became a serious contender at some of the greatest medical schools in America, including Harvard, Wash U, UPenn, Case Western, and Columbia. In all, I interviewed at eleven prestigious medical schools in 9 major cities across America, while posing a black man.

Not bad for a kid with a 3.1 college GPA, heh?

My plan actually worked. Lucky for you, I never became a doctor.

For some reason, transracialism isn’t as respectable yet as transgenderism. Chopping off your hair and eyelashes to pass as another race is considered much more shameful and outlandish than chopping off your private parts to pass as another sex.

Lou Reed has something to say about this:

The 4473 says race is optional so according to the ATF I have been many things, depending on how I was feeling that day.

If hair and eyebrows are the only way to tell the difference, then there really isn't that much difference.

What I have learned so far... You can be a good racist, or you can be a bad racist, but you are always a racist?

I guess they all look alike to you, don't they?

Hats off to Vijay for pointing out the obvious discrimination in the system.

just more proof that 'affirmative action' is a stupid, bad thing.  Entirely subjective, open to all sorts of misuse and fraud.

just more proof that 'affirmative action' is a stupid, bad thing.  Entirely subjective, open to all sorts of misuse and fraud.

And still race based.

Imagine how far he could have gone if Vijay had a vajayjay.

On the last census, for race I wrote in "American".

[Triphammer]

On the census, for that question I had always replied "human'.
 The last one I answered exactly ONE question. "How many in your household?"
The census, after all, is to count population. Period. Nothing more nor less.

I leave it blank.  Ditto SSN.   "Because I can."
