I was wondering what race you would want to be if you had the chance to change?
Please don't answer with , I wouldn't change because blablabla....
Just state which race and why.
Eg: I would want to be japanese, since they are disciplined, fun, and smart, plus they have a funky dress sense.
Or I would want to be Italian, because they have the coolest clothes and mopeds etc....

Since when is Australian a race? Japanese? Italian? LOL? I think you're referring to ethnicity or maybe culture?
Personally I like being Albanian. However I wouldn't want to live with the current standard of living in Albania or any place in the Blkans to be honest, but I don't look to the French or the Ruskies or some foreign ethnicity and go "I was I was that." I've come across a few Americans that lack an identity and wish they were (insert nationality) but thats because most Americans lack an identity to begin with (but that's another story.)
But I've always wanted to live in Argentina for some reason. Some of it is probably due to the majority of the country being of European descent which would probably help me blend better then say a Southern American country that has a more indigenous population. So Argentinian is the closest answer to your question.

Well if we say: `Italians stink`, that would be deemed as RACIST in Europe and America, hence why I used the term RACE.
Please try to choose a different culture/ethnicity/race, and if u don't want to be another `race` then just don't post an answer.

That's a tough question that I've been asked before. Since I'm Serb/Crno Gorac I'm naturally going to pick some other closest to Slavic like Czech, Russian, Polish, Ukranian, or whatever but that's not different enough (maybe to some it is since they don't think Serbs are slavic LOL). Hmmmm.... I'm gonna say Irish because they like to drink & be merry, much like Serbs LOL. I also don't mind Celtic music since I can hear some similarities with Serb or any other Balkan folk music. If you don't believe me listen to these styles of music carefully & you'll know what I'm talking about. But in all seriousness I wouldn't want to ba anything else but what I am now.

Not necessarily wanting to become something else but more like wondering how it felt being a member of a certain culture and talking and thinking in a different language while seeing it like a native language. How many groups or cultures have one encountered and wondered such things whether it was Greeks, Albanians, Turks, Italians, French, Arabs, Russians and many others.

Afrikaner (or really of any white background in Africa), Estonian, Swedish, Turkish, Batswana.
Pretty random choices -- just think those would be cool for some reason.

I'm in the same opinion as Aadmin.
If it was nationality, l would go Bulgarian for awhile.
If it was racial, l would chose Australian Aborigine because of their knowledge of the australian landscape etc....
Ruse, Ioan, Asen, did you guys like this?

I would think this is about culture because if its about race per se,its all superficial,all in the head,but not fully.
There are things I like about Americans,Canadians and Australians and Europeans.Hell,I think this is just the western way,attitude toward life,people.
But to be specific,maybe Dutch.A bit

Ruse, Ioan, Asen, did you guys like this? yes and we do not think it would be hard for you. If you knew Torlakian (you do not) you ll know Bulgarian . In a way if you rediscover your origin, you can be Bulgarian As for me, if we think about other nationality I would choose: 1. Swede, Dannish, Dutch or Finnish - I always liked how they managed to create this society where justice rules - very social. Also I am amazed how clear it is in those countries and how ecological they are. 2. Italian or Spannish - I d say they are similar to us but I am fan of history and in Italy there is so much to see. Spain is also a dream destination - they are passionate, warm people who enjoy life.

I don't want any other nationality. And the very idea Novi might become Bulgarian is obnoxious. Happy with my answer, Captain?

I tried to imagine to be some other nationality and I can't...Maybe because I am already pretty fugged up living close to 50 years in Quebec,Canada.... I feel like Odyseus... forever trying to get home....

^ thats true vin lmao
Nikola, the australian aborigine is advanced, not in our european sciences and technology but their knowledge of survival techniques used in the harsh australian environment. When the european settlers arrived in australia, many who wondered off, did not survive. Australian Aborigines today are used by police to track down lost individuals. Even scientists are acknowlegding that some of their techniques used for thousands of years should be employed instead of european ones.
I've read from somewhere that the average Australian Aboriginal visual IQ is much more advanced than the average European.

"If you knew Torlakian (you do not) you ll know Bulgarian . In a way if you rediscover your origin, you can be Bulgarian " I know enough serbian and serbian torlakian to get by with some vardarian. I just want to really see what you buggers think, l predominately know, but it will be good to see what else you Bulgari believe.
