    What does it mean to feel another race? This feels like engagement in racial stereotyping and racial fetishization.

      I mean I don’t really understand it or know much of anything about it, but it doesn’t really seem like it’s hurting anyone and honestly trying to define someone’s race is pretty arbitrary anyway since almost no one is purely descended from people from one specific area. I don’t know I feel like it’s just easier to let people be whoever they want unless there’s some demonstrable harm. I’m not saying I see no way this could be problematic, just that I’m going to assume it isn’t until proven otherwise because we really don’t need more division at this point.

      Well, more and more social studies researchers and psychologists are seeing as a legitimate area of exploration and understanding. And they are not saying it’s racial stereotyping or fetishization.

      You are free to have your own opinion, but I and many others disagree with your opinion.
