I am Caucasian and I chose that I would be African-American.
This is mainly because I think that it would be a very eye opening experience for me. I live in the Northeast and my mother was a Freedom Rider back in 1961 (a civil rights worker), and returned to Mississippi to live there for a while and work on registering black voters.
So I believe that my parents have educated me well about the struggles for civil rights and against racism that black people have endured. Not to mention slavery. However, I think I would still be shocked to be black and really understand from a different perspective how it feels to almost always be in the minority (at least where I live), and to feel prejudice.
This happened to me today- I was out with a co-worker for lunch and she said something to the cashier about me being her partner, meaning work partner. The cashier gave us a scowl and treated us very poorly after that. Neither of us corrected her assumption and were surprised by her response. Very enlightening.
They have had studies where if an older woman changes her clothing (obviously, keeping the same race, but being well-off, middle-class, or poor), she is treated differently. Poor women are short-changed more often
