Thought experiment: Can you apply the same process to other characteristics? For example, is it ok to lie about your race to improve your chances with racists?

Thought experiment: Can you apply the same process to other characteristics? For example, is it ok to lie about your race to improve your chances with racists? Even if that works, should you?
- chrischen 5y agoYea, if you think they'll forgive you for lying. If you're asking if it's worthwhile to court a racist then that depends on the other person. Obviously if you can turn them from a racist to not a racist then it's a worthwhile endeavor.

- nradov 5y agoWell since race is an arbitrary social construct with no consistent, objective definition then anyone can choose any racial identity they like without it being a lie. But when I was in the dating market I wouldn't have been willing to date a racist anyway, so the question is moot.
- samatman 5y agoNo only is that first sentence logically groundless, in that the consequent doesn't follow from the proposition, it is also dangerously untrue, please don't go around pretending to be of a racial identity you are in fact not a member of people really don't like it.
- nradov 5y agoHow is it logically groundless? Where is the logic?
- jfk13 5y ago> anyone can choose any racial identity they like How did that go for Rachel Dolezal?
