if you could have the right o choose before you came out from your mama's stomach? I used to always think about it all the time. I wished I was white because I like barbie a lot and I think they are very pretty. I also wishes I was french because I remember I wanted to learn french at on epoint..hehe How about you guys? Have you ever thought of this? Are you happy with what you are now?

I am white/American and I am quite happy with that. But, I think I would feel the same if I wasn't white or American. I think!? It would be nice if there were no races. Actually, it would be better if people could embrace the differences between people and not have some kind of fear of the differences. The world surely would be a better place!

It would not matter what race I was, life would still be difficult. All races have problems, no race is perfect. I am Caucasian, and I know that my race is not perfect. I wouldn't want to change my race to anything else because I know that I would have problems no matter what race I was. People think that Whites have it easy, but that is not true. People in your own race can turn against you and be really mean to you.

I am happy being white. I think everyone should be happy with who they are. I used to want to be pure french too for a while, though. I am part french, but I thought it would be cool to be born there. I thought it would be cool to be born a lot of places, just to see the difference..lol, but since I can only be born in one place and only be one person, I am pretty happy =)

I am very happy with who I am. Both my parents are hispanic and I am VERY PROUD of my heritage. I like myself(a few pounds thinner would be better) and basically a happy person. If I could change anything I would like darker skin and more apparent features of my hispanic culture. It is not obvious that I am hispanic even though both of my parents were 100 % hispanic, I think we may have had more Spanish roots than Mexican.

This is a semi-sensitive topic and I really hope that everyone is coming in here with an open mind. Anyway, if I could choose my race, I would remain Caucasian. I am, literally, "comfortable in my own skin." I think, though, that if I could be born into a separate group, I would want to be born in Sweden. 8) From what I've been observing, the people in the country seem to be really close to each other, at least the kids are. Swedes that I have talked to tend to travel more often to see friends than a lot of people do in countries like the United States.

I am happy with being dominican and italian. I dont think I would ever change that since to me those are the two best races. So im happy with my race and I would never want to change it.
