LOL! I'm sure a lot of minorities in general could relate. I grew up in a white suburban neighborhood and most of my friends were white and I simply never thought about "being black" until someone asked me something stupid (like do you wash you hair everyday or why don't you get sunburned) or made an offensive joke or comment. And other seemingly harmless things. But yeah, usually I never thought about being "different" or "the other" until someone else brought it to my attention.
Experience has taught me differently. But I still have black friends that seriously don't see it either. And it's not so much that they don't see themselves as black, it's just that they don't think about being black, as much.

No you're not weird at all. You're more advanced mentally than most people, that's for sure. If we could just get other people to just live their lives and focus what's on the inside instead of what we look like on the outside, we'd be in much better shape!

Not weird, we are all just people. We are different colors but I bet we like the same stuff. I consider myself black from the waist down anyways.

No, you are not weird, it only shows that you live in a civilized color-blind harmonious community. When the people surrounding you are treating you as one of their kind, subconsciously, you would start identifying yourself as one of them.

I dunno.
I can tell you I don't think all that much about being white.
I do however know that I'm a big fat guy. I get reminded of that every time I sit down.

Do you need me to hide my belongings when I see you approaching cuz I don't want you to steal them? Just kidding
You're human. you're a MAN. *yummy* (sorry, but I love men!) don't worry about your color.
