What is more important to you when choosing a mate? Their race or their culture? Think carefully about your past mates.
Culture. I need someone who can understand my beliefs.
Race. I need someone who shares the same physical features and/or racial history as me
They are both of equal importance
I don't care about either one of these things
Let's say you and a friend saw a person who was racially ambiguous. Your friend asks you to ID the person's race to clear up the confusion, but you're not sure. How do you feel?
Frustrated! I want to figure it out!!
Curious. They put the thought in my head.
Annoyed! People should be racially recognizable!
Amused. This is like a game show!
Confidant. I can always tell a person's race by looking at them.
Bewildered. Why does it matter?
Final Question: Finish this sentence. Race is real... (remember that you must believe race can be proven without looking at skin color or hair texture to count as believing it is real)
In our minds AND bodies
In our minds, but not our bodies
Only in the minds of racist or color struck people and societies
