Hell yeah, I'd identify as a wood elf or aasimar.

It makes sense considering that there's people who identify as dragons and 6 year olds (even though he was actually forty something). This isn't about friends like yours but more about Rachel Dolezal's.
That's a possibility. They also could allow it. |
Why would they specify that they can reject a student's classification if they are not going to do so on something as extreme as dragon?

They are letting the students pick their own race, if they are black they can call themselves Chinese in the same way they can choose their gender to "they". The parents consent is not needed. |
Except that they can contact the parents if they see reason to reject that classification.
Please explain to me how you would go about recording race in this database, and how that would differ from this method.
Wake me up when we can choose our own species. I want an excuse to sleep 20 hours a day like my cat.

We go too far right we see corruption, when we go too far left we see stupidity.

Well, to prevent people like Lauren Southern from using it to identify as something as a joke or to make a point. If they're not going to prevent people like Rachel Dolezal from identifying whatever race she wants, they really can't say someone can't be a dragon. Yeah, it's absurd but that's where were at.

Well it's the obvious next step in the post-modernist narrative. Everything is a social construct, nothing is biological.

What does Rachel Dolezal have to do with this? Is she a minor student in the Delaware school system?

There is very little backing up race as a biological phenomena.
I am black as far as I can tell but even black people say I'm not black which I am flabbergasted by because I know where my mother and father come from and I am not interested in becoming something else. So in addition to what I posted about my friend growing up, I can apply it to myself, but I'm my case its reversed.
For me, all of you folks concerned with calling me Indian or Asian to tell me that is what I HAVE to be even though I identify as Black can go screw themselves. In the end why are you so concerned.
No that being said you can't classify me along with Rachel Dolezal because I don't lie about who I am. Yes I may appear to have Indian features but that's just a part of MY genetic make up and as someone here already said most people assign race to skin color. When you consider this it makes sense to give people the option to choose.
Again I maintain that in most cases, it's best to simply as what race do people identify as being a part of.
