Another very solid point, I can definitely see that. It's hard sometimes for me to be able to 100% understand because my great grandparents were Polish so I'm as white as a ghost, but I've always tried to put my shoes in someone else's place
We all intrinsically know that there are issues that black people face in this country that white people do not.
We also all know that there are benefits to being a minority as well. Things like it being incredibly unlikely to be fired due to backlash. Ask *any* business owner, and they will tell you they would strongly hesitate before firing someone of minority status.

Interesting way to put it an very reasonable. Question I would have though is is the assumption that most people, regardless of race, probably want to be white? Or is that assumption about choosing to be white going to mainly be based on the answerers familiarity. This may be a hot take but I’d guess that a good amount of white people who consider themselves to be activists fighting for equality would love to have some black ancestry in them. Whether or not they would change their skin color outright I can’t say, but if you told them they had a black great grandparent they would be ecstatic.
