I was thinking about how in the not too distant future, we will be able to change our race/ethnicity. After some reflection, I’ve concluded that not only am I ok with it, but that it will likely be a positive development. I don’t think gender purity is a healthy concept, and I feel the same about race and ethnicity.

This probably has much to do with my feelings on “cultural appropriation”. Of course, mocking/stereotyping cultures is s shitty thing to do, and if that’s the definition of appropriation, it’s plainly wrong, but if the definition is broad, then anyone that listens to music is a guilty beneficiary.
