A white person should not be telling a person of colour how they should identify with other races just as a person of colour should not do the same for a white person. The white person cannot understand where you are coming from in this regard, just as you cannot understand where the white person is coming from.

Simple answer to a simple problem you make way more difficult than it should be.
