I've decided that I'm no longer marking "white" when answering surveys. When faced with the #race question yesterday, I selected OTHER and typed: "White is a color; race is a construct. I'm of #European ancestry and culture." (I consider it a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure #heritage tbh 💙) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇫🇷🇩🇪🇩🇰 = 🇺🇸
