I don’t think we can tell people to assume one identity over the other because WE think it’s easier or because they look certain way.

I also don’t believe that we need to go by how people look. What difference does it make.

I had people asking why I don’t look Jewish. I don’t know why I born blonde. My whole family looks Jewish, no clue why I don’t, don’t make me less of who I am and identify with.

I know people identifying themselves black and they don’t look black at all. And then some very dark skinned biracial people don’t identify as black.

Identity is way more than looks and is way more complex than just choosing what’s easier. If we all chose what’s easier many probably would sign up to be a majority. Much safer. But that’s not the case and easier isn’t always the answer
