      That’s because her being Bolivian doesn’t mean anything about her race. She could very well just be a white woman.

        I was going of the context that I was saying not everyone is a white guy so I assumed bolivian people don’t get counted as white even though she looked it

      What if she’s not a woman? or white? or real? Maybe she’s trans. Not transgender… transdimensional.

      Maybe they exist in a space that occupies your mind but not on this physical plane? What if all we see of them is but a piece of the knowable whole and our perceptions give it the shape of what we think it should be? Like an iceberg breaching through dimensional surface, forced into focus by our rules of reality.

      How else could they discover that which was unknown?

      You are just not racist enough. Let’s hear it from Ben Franklin (emphasis mine, on top delusion).

      Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth

        I forget where but I saw a meme of a geogueser type thing that goes based off of race of people, I don’t think I’d do well with that one

      She doesn’t look white to me. She looks hispanic to me.

      A person being not black doesn’t make them white.
