Well since race is an arbitrary social construct with no consistent, objective definition then anyone can choose any racial identity they like without it being a lie.

But when I was in the dating market I wouldn't have been willing to date a racist anyway, so the question is moot.

No only is that first sentence logically groundless, in that the consequent doesn't follow from the proposition, it is also dangerously untrue, please don't go around pretending to be of a racial identity you are in fact not a member of people really don't like it.

How is it logically groundless? Where is the logic?
