Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be a different race for a week?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

I think some of the answers you've received are funny. People still don't get it. Why should color make a difference...it only continues to make a difference because we/ people in general(not speaking for myself!) can't open our minds enough to see past the obvious different color of skin. I think the more challenging question would be "Do you ever wonder what it would be like to live in a world where the color of your skin has nothing to do with the type of individual you are or to live a different life in general?" Like, what would it be like to be a doctor for a week or a police officer. You have a good question - but some people answer it with too much negativity.

I personally would love to be any race as long as I was healthy.

Answer 3

I'm caucasian and i think to change race for a week would be very interesting because it would make me look at things from a slightly different point of view and see the world and everything in a different way.

There was a woman you actually lived as a black woman in the 1960's- she was white. She darkened her skin by taking some type of hyper-pigmentation pill that would darken your skin in the sun. She died her hair and cropped it and was accepted as black- that was back during Jim Crowe laws and her account of how she was treated was extraordinary- I heard her spek I think in 2000 but I can't remember her name. As her skin lighted she worked jobs as other races- she crossed over from Mexico with no legal papers of identification as an American and she worked immigrant labor as a house maid or nanny and talks of the poor pay and the abuse she endured. Her perspective is unique as she actually walked in the shoes of people of different races in a very intense time of bigotry. She wrote a book and was on the speaking circuit- if anyone knows her name-- please post it!

Answer 5

Sure. It's a top-ten item on my what-if list along with "what would it be like to be the other sex" and "what if I lived in a different time"
But I have to give it a lower ranking on my what if list than I give to "what if I could just be a person and not a race or a religion?"
That one gets the number one slot for me.

Answer 6

Never thought about being a different race... but have thought about being a man for a day.... I'd love to be on the receiving end of a male orgasm once - instead of giving it

Answer 7

A very good question, I'm filipino and I already face many racial slurs and good compliments about my race. Being another race would be pretty interesting but this also means that I'll face many other racial slurs but also I'll get complimented. I've always wanted to know what it would be like to be japanese because I loved their culture as much as i love being filipino, but I feel blessed being filipino because of all the love I get.

Answer 8

i am what people call white. i do not consider my self white, but have wondered what it would be like to be what people call black. that is another one i don't understand. i don't like those terms, because i am not white, and i don't know anyone who is black. i know some people who are brown. well there are some people who are black, but that is besides the point. the thing is yeah i wonder what if i were another race for a week, what it would be like. i believe i could understand my " black" friends more.

Answer 9

yeah im white i always wanted to be a different race, because im ashamed of my culture's history, we were the ones who always put down other cultures. I always wanted to either b black or asian. dont' no why those two but i always did

Answer 10

It would be very difficult but you would gain alot of knowledge about how ti feels to be different.

I think you would find that you had a better understandind of racism,
which is the scourge of humanity

Answer 11

Nope.. I love being who i am but I would suspect that those of a Caucasian persuasion would have an eye opening experience were they to change race..!
