I know I would get along with my life just like any other day.

I would, but how others treated me is the big question, isn't it

Because of skin color and bias I think that my experince in life would be different.
I would assume that I would have the same social standing upper middle class so most of my financal expericans would be the same and I would have grown up in the same type of housing or setting.
If that were not the case I would have been totally different. from a spoiled princess to a person who would have to work, wait or never get the items or things that are wanted in life. On the other hand I might not have wanted the same things.
I have many muli cultrual friends their customs and approach to live is somewhat different even though we are all around the same social standing in our home communities. ( studying away from home in a different city)

Of course I wouldn't. People would treat me differently based on my skin color. My sense of self is based partially on how others treat me. Therefore, I would be different.
As an example, I am white. If, hypothetically, I was a member of a white supremacist movement, but then suddenly my skin and other features changed such that I came to resemble someone of African descent, I would be most likely shunned from the group. My most probable reasons for being a hypothetical member of this racist movement would no longer be valid. Indeed, out of pure self-interest, I would likely seek to join a similar-minded group for those of African descent (not naming any names). My motivations would be similar, perhaps, but how I went about them would be very different and my person would have to adapt to my new situation.

I would be the same person no matter what color of skin I had. How I would react to the way other people would treat me - I cannot honestly answer - I would have to experience it to know how my life would be. Personally I feel I treat everyone equally and would hope I would be treated equally - but in real life I realize this is a fairy tale.

I think so, I think that it is a double whammy because; where I am from many girls who are darker skinned toned would prefer lighter skin. I on the other hand am light skin toned but, I am upset that all of the songs out there are always about those "Morena's" (dark skin girls). Go figure!

Yeah, TOMORROW I would be the same person. But in time, I don't think I would be. Experiences change a person and if I was black, living where I live, I'm sure I would be treated very differently (very few blacks where I live). This would have to change me.

i see no skin color so i would get along just fine but others in my life would not accept me for being different and that would change my life significantly.

I would still be the out going personality person I have always been.

I think so, but my family is of mixed races. However, I know others would treat me differently so then maybe not!

The question is not really would you be the same person ... of course you would ... the question is how you would be treated.
