I'm not so sure I agree with this. Growing up as a half black person raised by my white mother and with no knowledge of the "black" half of my family, it's definitely news to me that I'm only black because I choose to identify that way. I guess it's just coincidence that everyone else in my surroundings chooses to identify me as black? I certainly don't feel that I ever made the choice to be.
