I wish I were black Can’t you tell? Black is cool, it’s chic, hip, in. Oppression is very twenty-first century. I wish I were white, I wish my inside matched my outside, my passion for equality would be seen as admirable. I have always wanted to be rich like white people, to be innocent like white people. I wish I were an Asian woman. To live with every guy of every color, longing to bag me, the exotic beauty. I would give massages and bend to their every whim, it is the Asian woman’s duty to serve. I wish I were gay, being gay would be absolutely fabulous. I would have better fashion sense and constant sex. All day long I would chase after straight men, that’s what a gay guy does. I wish I were Latino, as a Latino I would eat great food. I could dance up a storm, be en fuego in bed, no man can compare to the Latin lover. I wish I were a foreigner, than I could laugh at American ignorance.
I wish I were black
Can’t you tell?
Black is cool,
it’s chic, hip, in.
Oppression is very twenty-first century.
I wish I were white,
I wish my inside matched my outside,
my passion for equality would be seen as admirable.
I have always wanted to be rich like white people,
to be innocent like white people.
I wish I were an Asian woman.
To live with every guy of every color,
longing to bag me, the exotic beauty.
I would give massages and bend to their every whim,
it is the Asian woman’s duty to serve.
I wish I were gay,
being gay would be absolutely fabulous.
I would have better fashion sense and constant sex.
All day long I would chase after straight men,
that’s what a gay guy does.
I wish I were Latino,
as a Latino I would eat great food.
I could dance up a storm,
be en fuego in bed,
no man can compare to the Latin lover.
I wish I were a foreigner,
than I could laugh at American ignorance.
