I hate my race! I don't want to be white any more! What can I do?!
Question Posted Wednesday March 24 2010, 12:16 am
I am caucasian/white and I really don't want to be any more. White is the worst "color" skin to be, in my opinion. Everybody thinks I'm racist because of MY skin color! It's annoying and I feel like I owe people of different races something simply because I'm not of their race! I know that sounds so messed up but it's so true.
I see it on TV a lot so I know I'm not the only white person like this either. I see all the time people saying, "If I was white you wouldn't be..." in situations that don't even make sense even. I never try to make somebody feel bad because of their race but I've been accused of it before at school.
I'm tired of my race. I want to be something different. I know Michael Jackson changed his racial skin color. Is it possible for a white person to become black, asian, or hispanic colored? Can I change my race or my skin color? What about other physical features like nose and eyes? Can a person get those facial features changed without surgery?

DONTbeSTUPID answered Thursday December 23 2010, 2:38 pm: The above statement and question is B.S.! I really don't believe it was written by any White person. Someone from a different race, other than White, got jealous, envious and upset that there is a different group of people who are better than him or herself, so he or she FEELS. So, this hateful nonwhite person decided to make it look like there are white people who don't want to be white anymore. What a bunch up Gobbledygook B.S.! What is Gobbledygook? It's an adult's polite way of saying B.S.!
Okay, if you are white, you are asking the most hideous sounding question most people have ever heard before. If what's making you feel this way is being in a school or community of mostly nonwhites and most of those nonwhites are hateful toward whites for whatever unreasonable excuse , then I think it's time for you and/or your family to move out! Either that or stay there and continue to be psychologically torn apart and destroyed to the point where you can't take it anymore and then you either become an extremely addictive drug addict or you will commit suicide. Apparently you are young and extremely emotional as everyone is at that age. But, you are at one of the most important turning points in your life and I do mean YOUR LIFE ! So, get Smart, don't be stupid and do something you're going to regret. Get away from those screwed up people with screwed up mines! You cannot change them so move out! How my times have you said "I hate it here, I can't stand those people, they don't like me, I don't like them and I got to get out of here!" ? That is your mind going into defensive and self-preservation mode which is trying to correct the problem. But, as you know, the problem cannot be corrected. And if you cannot fix the problem then you either destroy yourself or move to a better environment with better people. Yes, it's as simple as that. But, how and where do you move to? And as a temporary fix or pacifier until you're able to actually move out of that crappy community this is what I suggest you do. Go way out of your way to meet other people like yourself and hang around with them. Make close friends with people like yourself. It is quite normal and natural for different races of people to want to hang with their own race of people. Don't let anyone try to make you think it's wrong. After all look at all the all-black associations and programs where only black people can be members or part of the so-called cultural support programs. Look at all the Hispanic associations and programs where only Hispanic people can be members or part of the so-called cultural support programs. But, there are no cultural support programs for white people or white communities. When you create organizations, social programs, community culture centers that only cater to one race of people that is racist. And that does inspire more racist attitudes amongst those groups of people who hang around with their own groups of people in those associations and community programs. And then, when those Hispanics and Blacks who have been catered to and treated special by telling them how special and unique their race of people are, those same Hispanics and Blacks return the multiracial communities and bring with him that extreme us and them racist mentality. And now, so it seems, you are getting spit in the face by the nonwhites who were told the B.S. of how special and beautiful they,the Hispanic and black races are! When blacks and Hispanics are allowed to have their own tax funded associations, get-togethers and community centers which allow them to pat each other's backs and tell them how great and special their race of people are it's approved by state and local governments and the minds of the community leaders of black and Hispanic groups. But, whenever and wherever a White race of people want to establish the same back-patting, boasting of the unique quality of their bloodline or just being allowed to hang around with their own race of people it's considered to be bad, shameful, racist, by state and local governments and also by the Black and Hispanic community leaders. Which all of these parties have contributed in making sure that White people are never given the same opportunity of having a tax sponsored, socially accepted right to get together to boast how great they are, which Whites don't really need to do. Why? Because whites are content and happy as they are! This is why it's so hard for so many people who are reading your cries of stress to understand what the hell you're talking about.
As I was typing this on my computer my friend came over and told me to suggest this to you. He said do not start drinking alcohol. He said if you begin drinking alcohol to relieve or escape from the stress you're going through regarding this multicultural crap, your life will get worse! Much worse! Don't drink alcohol to escape! Because alcohol is an extremely addictive drug. My friend said you may want to smoke a little HERB instead. It's only 1/20 of the addiction affect of alcohol, Coke, speed, etc.. In other words you can quit anytime you want. It works well on relieving physical and mental stress in all ages of people. HERB works as a great pacifier while you're going through hard times. And most all Police Officers agree that it is the most safe and sane stimulant to use with no side effects when compared to everything else that's going around the schools and college campuses. And, that's why HERB will someday be legal to possess and smoke. And now as I thank my friend for that final bit of advice to you, I leave you with this final statement. Do what you have to do to get through this and survive! There's a better world out there for you and the crappy one you are in right now is only temporary. One of the greatest human feelings of adventure happens when you are looking forward and actually making plans to get out of the crappy situation you are in now! Good things happen ONLY when YOU make them happen! [ DONTbeSTUPID's advice column | Ask DONTbeSTUPID A Question ]

You are also a victim of idiotic children who will parrot anything they hear in the real world if they think it will give them some measure of social power. You're white, they've heard of shit like reparations and past racism, and they're shamelessly using it against you to subjugate you.
I want you to think very carefully about your opinions on who's racist when you're coming here asking for help changing your skin color after you've been made to be inferior by members of another race.
It's a common American Misconception that White people are the only Racists. In truth (and this is a statistical fact) there is more racism per capita in pretty much every other non white racial group in America.
Seriously. Black people hate white people but that's "not racist" because they feel entitled to hate based on the past.
Hispanics and Blacks generally see each other as the enemy in the adult world. I live in Texas, and I can tell you that living among this many Hispanic Americans, It's always someone of Hispanic descent that's the one to drop the N-bomb or to make a terrible assumption about another race. Because they aren't white and are a minority, they aren't in the spotlight, so they're often quite open in their beliefs and don't have the guilt aspects White people do to self correct because "thinking this way is wrong"
Asians to some degree or another, because of their general collectivist origins, see all races as some degree of outsiders.
Oh, and most Racial groups have vast segments of people who have serious issues with ideas like interracial marriage and relationships and such. There are tons of parents of every race who teach their children to date within their own skin color/culture/social group related to race.
Racism is everywhere, in every race. The people who are after you are being racist as well. The last thing the world needs is some white kid who wants to change his race because he's being singled out. Martin Luthor King Jr. would be ashamed of you.

First off. The people that treat you differntly becuase of the color of your skin are IGNORANT.
And the fact that you want to change your race because of these people, and the mean things they have to say.. makes you just as bad!
Embrace who you are.. don't beat yourself up because white people in the past have made decisions that you don't agree with.
Being white,black,yellow or brown does not make a person racist, the fact that they can't see past color is what makes them ignorant.
In time you'll realize how wrong you actually are. Of course everyone see's color.. but to look PAST it and see someone for who they are on the inside is what makes them an open minded person.
- Don't associate with people who make you feel bad because of the color you are.. they are irrelevant and really aren't anyone you want in your life anyway!
Love who you are, for who you are!
Michael Jackson was an ignorant fool for what he did as well.. So don't worry about what others say.. one day it won't matter!
Be yourself and tell anyone who doesn't accept that to get out your face and your life! [ deezy's advice column | Ask deezy A Question ]
OhMyLucyDarling answered Wednesday March 24 2010, 1:26 am: Your race is your identity, No there is no way to permanently change it. Micheal Jackson has gone through numerous changes that included plastic surgery yes, However it did not change his identity.
You will need plastic surgery to look different, However your race is who you are. Surgery is not going to make you no different. You just need to learn to become happy with who you are. [ OhMyLucyDarling's advice column | Ask OhMyLucyDarling A Question ]
