She’s right to compare them. Both are assigned to you based on some physical and social characteristics and can predetermine your life to an extreme degree.
Ethnicity and gender are very similar in their core, in the way they exist as a social construct, or “collective hallucination” as I like to call it.
What’s she’s wrong at is thinking either is an immutable biological fact.
I say yes, she can be black. It doesn’t really matter as long as we’re all human.
I think you missed the point, and I presume she is comparing ethnicity to gender. These are different subjects with very different definitions.
