"Polish" is not an ethnic group. The same way that "Chinese" is not an ethnic group.


To clear it up a bit, do you mean that you want to be a Slovakian Pole? or a Jewish Pole? or what?

A wealthy african american would drive around a purple cadillac and wear gold watches, while ordering fried chicken delivery.

list of ethnic groups.

i think the original question is fine. but just because people are of the same "race" doesn't mean they'd also be the same ethnicity. and it gets even more complicated by the fact that the term "race" is often used loosely; some people believe there is only one human race, some follow the four-race model of caucasian (kanthoeroi?), negroid, mongolian, astraloid, and others classify even deeper.

so it's simply more convenient to drop the term "race" and just speak of ethnicity.

and polish, although non specific, could be considered an ethnic group. the han chinese would be the largest chinese ethnic group, although there are many other varients, ie. zhuang, manchu, blah blah blah.

anyway, enough of the mumbo jumbo technicalities. i'd like to experience being of irish descent, living in australia ;o.

I've always wanted to be Indian. I think Indian women are gorgeous and the heritage is really, really interesting. I personally think my heritage is kind of boring, though I do have a bit more too it than other American-bred white people around me, I suppose.

If you could be another race for a day, what would you like to experience as that race?

I'm curious what being black or hispanic is like, because I don't know what it's like to be in jail, or to have parents who are drug addicts. I also wanna know what it feels like to do a drive by shooting or get into a knife fight. Maybe I'd understand them better if I could walk in their shoes or something.

WOW. You really do want to promote tolerance.

stubborn.gif

Either white or black. Black because they are one of the most discriminated against race throughout history. White because I just want to feel what it's like to be the "good" race, apparently.

I'm Asian, so I'm somewhat in the middle. I want to see what it's like to NOT be discriminated against. Or what it's like to have douchebags make blanket, prejudical, and ignorant comments.

Merged

I haven't thought about picking a different race. I'm sorta mixed (Spanish/Israeli with scant few other things lol). I'm a mutt, essentially. I wouldn't mind being 100% Spanish though, living in Spain for a while, living the Spaniard life. Maybe learn some gypsy (gipsy?) dancing. (None of that is really race though, I don't think)

I guess I just wish I could experience being 100% Korean or Japanese while living in the matching country to more-or-less fully experience the culture. Being an odd mix(Korean, Japanese, Irish and Czech among others) I've just never really been culturally oriented. Feel like I'm not wording things right, whatever, kinda tired.
