This reminds me of how LKH always goes on in interviews about how much she'd lurve to be ethnic because of how cool it would be.

I...just...wat?

I've always believed that everyone should be proud of their heritage, we all have different backgrounds and races and should be able to celebrate that without putting each other down. Black, yellow, brown, white, blue, purple, everyone should be proud along with being open to the differences and cultures of others.

But I absolutely loathe this mentality. White people who hate being white and put down other 'white bread' people, because they wish they could be something non-white and therefore 'special.' It's not about experiencing other cultures and perspectives besides your own, it's all about being 'exotic' and more special then other people. These are the people who obsess over stereotypes because that its what they think being non-white means. The people who want to be Native American because Indians are all about being one with the earth and nature. The people who want to be Japanese because it would be like living in an anime.

They want to be 'exotic' and 'cool' because races are like accessories to them, different colored outfits to put on and prance around them.

Crap on a cracker indeed...
