You can….. Its actually super common.
Like Barrack Obama. (I’m not actually making a political comment here)
Obama was not “black” He was half white and half black. he was consider the first Black President because he did not disagree with the ideal.

And he should not have, because if you ask people more people would look at him and say he is black…

I went to high school with a half Jewish half Cuban girl. She was actually a lighter shade of brown (More on this later) then I am. (I.E. Whiter then me)

Most the people in our high school called her a Latina.
Her mother considered her Spanish. (Like the NATION of Spain)
He called herself Jewish. (Which is a Religion, but also a stand in for Hebrew, which is a race)
So let’s just throw this out here.
-
Your Biological sex is not a social construct. Its one of a few different ways your body can develop… not there are not two.. there are closer to five. Its just that three or so of those are actually what happens when your body malfunctions and diviates from the two normal biological sexs.
GENDER… Is a social construct. To the extent that many cultures have more then two genders to start with.

Race, is a social construct
Genetics are not….
Genetically I’m like… 90% From the English Part of The UK. With some Scottish,Welsh and French thrown in. That effects some stuff, but over all I’m human.
Race is a social construct….
I can prove it real quick.
#1: How many races are there? Three right? Asian/White/Black? Nope.. There are four…. (Well by that model) Because Aboriginal is separated from those three. Two of the Four also have REALLY un-pc names.
#2: As I was talking about above.. Humans are not white/black.
They are brown…. all of them.
Every Naturally occurring (That is not albino) skin tone is brown….
All of those people are brown.
That’s because skin is all a matter of how much of two pigments (both brown) you have.
#4: If your from say… Iraq? What race are you?
Because the answer in that three (four) group answer. white/black/asian. Is white.
Because the answer in that three (four) group answer. white/black/asian. Is white.
Middle Easterners are white.
As are Latino's. Spanish people and so on.
But if your in Brazil there are actually 40+ Races. (Recognized)
-
You can absolutely pick your race.
I could tell people I was Scottish.
Or English.
Or English.
Or French.
I could say I’m White.
I could say I’m White.
I can say I’m American.
I can say I’m Jewish.
Now the real question is going to be…
What will everyone else call you?
