To be fair, what one considers to be their race doesn't matter much as race is constructed based upon society's perception of you based on external factors. An individual can be categorized as different races by different people as the lines for what constitutes what race is highly subjective and often shifting based upon regional, generational, and also current trends.
But I should stop here because whenever I try to actually introduce social science into conversations about race it results in confusion for some individuals.
