Racial Identity and Reassignment: How would you feel about it?

Inspired by an earlier post and subsequent discussion, I'm curious to know what you think.

We're all familiar with gender reassignment. What if someone white identified as black, or if someone Asian identified as Caucasian?

Imagine: Procedures and surgeries are available to change skin colour and facial features to transform a person of one race to look like the race with which they identify. Human rights laws will be put in place to protect people in this community.

How do you feel?

Is this any different from someone born male wanting to transition to female?

Caveat: For those claiming there is no such thing as race, as we are all part of the human race - we all get that. Please answer the question, or go answer another one entitled "I don't see colour."

I used to joke about this. That I wanted a race change. It disturbed people that I would say something like this in front of all kinds of people. What me distuurb someone?

I can't wait to see racial reassignment surgeries happening!! We'll probably see an episode of that on Black Mirror soon!

Seriously, though. You're never white enough after a certain point. When you're racist you always need someone to hate.

Example - I watched "The Pianist" recently with my daughter and she commented, "I don't get it. Jews are white..."

"They weren't white enough."

When something goes wrong I have a hard time thinking "why not fix it??"

You might be able to alter your appearance. But not your bone structure.
