    The grass is always greener on the other side my friend. Be happy with who you are, after all you have NO CHOICE, you may as well make the best of it. Why waste your time wishing for something you can't have, it will only make you more unhappy. ;)

    Embrace the person God made you, but decide what character traits you admire about white people and adopt them. If it is the life style, get a good education and make good career choices. You have every opportunity to be whatever you want, if you want it badly enough to work for it. That's true in whatever aspect of life you wish to embrace - family, career, hobbies, whatever. Put forth the effort and be the best you can be - the best student, the best employee, the best friend, the best parent. But, remember that you are special just being the person you are.

    Take time to improve your self-esteem and be proud that your ethnicity is part of who you are. If you always wish to be something else, you will never be happy with yourself.

    You set your own standards, don't set yourself up for failure.

    see a psychiatrist. You're obviously having some sort of identity crisis, and you need professional help.

Love who you are and sing the song by Chritine Agulara every day....I am beautiful no matter what they say cause words can't bring me down no words can't bring me down today!

    I saw a comment in a documentary where a white man said to a coloured friend - "I don't see colour, I just see you as a person.'
    The coloured man replied that he was hurt as his colour made him proud and and he hoped that his friend should see him for his uniqueness and characteristics.

    You are unique - embrace it and be proud of it!!!

    I am white and I can tell you that white skin wrinkles more than darker skin, is more prone to skin cancer, and almost every white person I know would love to be tan (or darker.) WHY do you wish you were white?

    Look in the mirror and be happy that you can't be mistaken for trailer trash. Maybe see someone about bleaching your skin. I think everyone is raceist, and I admit I am too, but I wouldn't mind being black sometimes (I'm white) because some things are easire in life if you are black, but being white is much easire (it's proven that whites have it better- it was in the paper a few days ago)

    You know i wish i was white. I wish i had a white complextion ( if thats how u spell it). Its not fair but its true, life in America is much easier if you are white, im sorry. I live in a upscale soceity, and i am for some reason dark/tan, and it has traumitized me my enitre life. My whole family of white skin complexsion and i am dark/skinned. Its so insulting when people mistake my race/ethnicity, ive been even called black. Everytime i look at myself in the mirror when im alone, i look at myself in disgust because i know i will face racial bias my enitre life. How will i be able to have friends of WHITE skin complexion latre in college? How will i have a white wife, even though i am white? I really do not look white and i hate myself for it. The reason i do hate my skin color/complexion is not because of my self perference, but because of other peoples perceptions. It even applies to me, as soon as i see someone who is dark skinned i judge right away, and im sure i get the same reaction. My good friend told me today that i should try applying to college under "African-American", and that i would pass as black if they saw me. Its tough living in such a demanding society, i know my writing isnt fluid and correct at the moment, but i am so depressed i dont care about anything anymore. I just wane to be socially accepeted, and look the way i am supposed to look, white.

    I have to ask- what kind of benefits do you believe comes with being White?
    I think everyone goes through a period where they wish they were different than they are-some just fall under different categories, and wanting to be White is your's.
    Learn to love who you are, rick. And if all else fails, get a bunch of White friends, lol.

    You need to look into a film called "The Secret". Oprah, who is not white BTW, had a show on it, youtube had it posted for a while. Theres an interview with a non caucasion author who states she always wanted fair skin and blonde hair- because thats what she was told is beautiful.there are ways to change your skin color but they look unnatural. Sorry for this- but Micheal and LaToya jackson (I assume you are AfrikanAmerican) look ghostly.

    One doesn't really have to DO anything. As one continues to make that wish, life will keep assigning pain to his/her choice to make THAT wish.
