You can only vote on one answer.
Specifically, about your race -

"The term race refers to groups of people who have differences and similarities in biological traits deemed by society to be socially significant, meaning that people treat other people differently because of them. For instance, while differences and similarities in eye color have not been treated as socially significant, differences and similarities in skin color have."

So, do you feel good, bad or indifferent about your race?

I feel good about myself and it has nothing to do with my race.

Nothing wrong about my race so neither feel bad or indifferent. Rather I say I’m proud of my skin color.

I don't have any thoughts about race, people are who they are and there are good and bad in every race...
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Platinum And YOU are one of the good ones!

I'm more than one and don't feel like I belong to either, so count me as indifferent.

You mean they haven't come up with something to identify your mixed race?

There are some 57 gender identities, and this poor girl can't get a name for her race?!

Well, thanks for playing Cross..

@Budwick I'll just have to be my own race then, lonely me.

That just shows how special you are!
I love it - what ever it is!

I'm good with my race proud to be as well
Budwick · 70-79, M
I feel good about my race too.

I think the concept of "race" needs to be reassessed. I firmly believe there is only one race: human, [i]homo sapiens.[/i] The characteristics used to distinguish people groups have more to do with "ethnicity" and culture, traditions. Whenever I'm asked to identify my race, I respond "human" or mark "other", because the features considered "racial" in nature are determined by less than one percent of our shared DNA. Everything else comprises our humanity, differentiating us not from each other, but from every other species on this planet.

My answer to the question is yes I feel good, and yes, I feel bad. We still have a long way to go in the refinement process.

I don’t mind it. But it isn’t as if I had any control over it.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@MrsKatherineArch Yeah, nobody does, but even so, some people make kind of a big deal about their race - good / bad.

Thanks for your input.

@Budwick Well, none of us chooses it, and none of us can change it-for good, or bad.

If I had the choice to pick all three that would be nice. I'm Black; Half Cuban-Jamaican.

All three?
Good
Bad
Indifferent?

Just - you remind me of my kids when they were little. I took 'em out for ice cream - somebody wants a hot dog!
JustSimplyMe · 26-30, M
@Budwick Funny, that's exactly how I was when I was little. Spot on, my good sir! 😂
Zonuss · 41-45, M
I wonder how do you feel sometimes.
Or are you stuck in a time warp. 🙂
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Zonuss Generally I feel pretty good.
No time warp.

Are you trying to imply that the question is racist?
