Let's say you stumble upon a magical lamp, of course with a genie in it, but this genie is special in that he only grants one wish and in one category-- you get to chose your race and magically it is so. No one knows you did it, there's no fallout from the community you left or any apprehension of acceptance from the community you've joined, the world simply realligns itself in the way that will make reality the closest to current reality but allow for your race to have switched. Of course you can also chose to not take the genie up on this wish. What race do you pick? Why?
White. We came from a white nation, the franchise was first white, and for all the ways it has worked to protect and perpetuate itself, whiteness has always been on the in.
