This is stupid. "Racial categories" and "ethnic categories" are all in your mind. Also, "Chinese" is not a race. It's a NATIONALITY.
These kinds of events are PRECISELY the reason why "race" and "ethnicity" is nonsensical, inconsistent, confusing, and unreliable way to organize the world in our minds. Stupidity can be prevented by rejecting the use of this category. It is not other people's fault, if I myself contribute to the confusion by using these USELESS and MEANINGLESS categories. I must begin by rejecting the use of these faulty ideas.
I myself do not recognize myself as being ANY race or ethnicity. I do not self-identify as "black", I do not self-identify as "white", I do not self-identify as "asian", I do not self-identify as "Chinese", I do not self-identify as "Korean", or anything else. I also don't automatically box other people into these useless racial and ethnic categories. If required to, I will self-identify either as an "earthling" or as "Neo", meaning "new". I suggest that you all who want social change and a better future world, do the same as I am doing. I have taught my son this same thing, so there are already 2 people in the world who think this way. And with you, there can be more and more, until we change the way the world thinks.
I will accept that others self-identify as a race. But, those words like "white", "black", and even "Chinese" when it's used as a race/ethnicity, have no meaning for me. (I only understand clearly what it means if someone is Chinese in the sense that they self-identify as a citizen of China.) They might as well tell me that they are a member of the starfleet federation or that they are a "wawa". It tells me nothing useful or meaningful about the person—or, in fact, what the person LOOKS like.
I will also accept the use of describing words, such as light-skinned, dark-skinned, etc. But note that these descriptions are not identities.
