Please check your race. Caucasian, African American, Native American, Other…

oh yea, on my way back from a quick chill with Franklin, who happens to be a boy from my hood…or at least a bike ride away. We just finished up some portrait shoots for a gallery show he is doing called “OTHER,” which is a series of black-and-white portraits of people of mixed ethnicity. The title is inspired by the check box on school forms, job applications, surveys, and whatever else is out there that requires us..No, no…makes us choose our race. World’s not so black and white anymore, is it? I’ll post up the scans and invite you to the gallery showing when it’s out! In the meantime, I’m laughing my butt off because Razz is sooooo funny.

    Even though my race is usually on those forms, I tend to tick ‘Other’ and write in ‘Human’.

    Yo Jack I do the same thing. I use to check either multiple elasticities or like make up something that isn’t considered an elasticities. than when I got outta highschool i just put Other: Human. Racial classification is nonsense
