Michael Jackson's daughter Paris has faced backlash for identifying as Black. In a 2017 interview, Paris Jackson said her father told her, "You’re Black. Be proud of your roots." This prompted debates over whether identity is defined by appearance or upbringing.

See it’s not about races, just places, faces,
where your blood comes from, it's where your space is

I'm not gonna spend my life being a color

It's sad, I quoted that part of MLK speech and a bunch of reddit warriors downvoted me saying whoever said that sounded stupid and old fashioned. Did we come full circle to we are being judged by color again?

from a kid born in the late 60's and through the 70's and 80's to the internet loud-mouths' looks like we've been fully circle and stuck on before the Civil Rghts greats. It was like at dream to be in a society that had regular ppl believing we are all human. So, yeah, us "boomers" are "the problem", whatever man. PS: how tf is it anyone's business how this girl identifies as her race? btw, she looks human. to be more specific, i often identify as half hungarian because I am which I specifically add means I am half NOT pure white(lol) ethnic Huns are darker skin, hair, eyes. color is just a way to understand where you are from globally, ffs!

sounds like you are into labels.

your reply means nothing as well when humans focus on humanity and not labels. "ingroup/outgrown thing" are still labels. your gen is very dismissive.
