Keep race awareness in history books, we in TG stuff get enough flak without any need for more.

I forgot which side of the argument you were on and was sure you were defending BSB until I reread your earlier post.
I prefer "ethnicity" to "race," but the fact is, it's more likely that language will evolve to the point where the two are synonymous than it is that people will start using a word with twice as many syllables just to be technically accurate. We (those of us who are American) live in a country where inflammable means "not able to catch on fire" and flammable became a word out of thin air. Easy wins.
So-called race changes can be much deeper than a shift in pigmentation and certain other features. They can also, like so many transformations, be nothing but a pretty picture. Both are fine.

It was. Again, the subtleties of language are often set aside for the sake of convenience. In this case, to facilitate an ironic usage of the race card. I believe you're meant to turn into a hot chick now.
