I think I'm Trans-Racial? Can anyone confirm that this is a real phenomenon?

I once had a nightmare I wasn't white, does that count?

Really, we can all think we might like to have been born in other conditions in different ways. Like, if you're not athletic you could wish your athletic and that your heart is in it, or you could feel more European than American, etc. But isn't that more like wishful thinking?

LOLZ

Almost as funny as this video.

OP, I'm not sure you know what "race" means. If you think you're an animal, that would be trans-species.

But to answer both of your questions, neither trans-racialism nor trans-speciesism are a thing. But thanks for the laugh.

If you want to be athletic, exercise. If you want to be a sloth, get the surgery. That's my logic.
 
What? I meant most aren't born a natural football-star even if they want to be.

Who exactly is born a natural football star? Are you referring to the years of practice and effort that go into becoming a skilled athlete? Nobody ever looks at a baby and exclaims, "This is the one that's going to kick the ball the hardest!"
 
Well, of course not, but does everyone who train to be make it?
I can write, I can't sing or don't have the vocal chords for it, that's just the way it's going to be.

But actually, by coincidence I just started doing yoga for one and a half hour every morning. I like the energy and moodlift it gives you at the beginning of the day.
 
You're not a laotian midget by any chance? ;)

Oh, yeah. Yoga is lovely. One and a half hours seems like an atypical choice of duration, though. People always do things for precisely half an hour or one hour. There are no 1 & 1/2 hour college courses or 1 & 1/2 minute microwavable noodles. This has nothing to do with the topic at hand. I'm going to go do sloth yoga.
 
You seem like a mind tease. Rather than speculate I'd rather just ask what message you were trying to send or :0(gasp) is that for you to know and me to never find out.

Familiarise thyself :)

Personally, I'm not buying trans-racialism as a real thing. The whole idea of race is pretty much an 'invention' of humans. Borders between countries are largely arbitrary, they change and are determined by will really. There is no real objective definition of race. I don't believe a non-Asian can ever be Asian, if they do not have that genetic component to them.

I talk solely of genetics, not about culture.

edit: I'm a close this one down for now because I think its meant to be a 'joke'. Please PM me if you want it reopened...:)
