(4,193 posts)If you want to put pale-skinned African on the census form, godspeed, I suppose we're Africans in exile, and the miniscule amount of DNA that divides us doesn't fit neatly into checkboxes, so I think people can be whatever imaginary thing they imagine race to mean. I mean discrimination is real but it's based on imaginary stuff, because humans are lousy number crunchers when you get down to it, so the lazy ones say "ah fuck it, people with presumed feminine genitalia are bad drivers" even if insurance companies can prove otherwise.
But, yeah, I don't get TV so I dunno what the Jenner business is about. I think gender is almost as fluid or nonbinary as this "race" stuff, I think a time will come when we're only mildly threatened by the sheer diversity of things that happen in nature.
