Okay, simple enough idea for a thread, say a mysterious blue woman that looks like Zhaan from farscape only with a REALLY GIANT HEAD appears to you, and tells you in a day or two, her magic will change your race for a week, and you get to pick a member of that race to look similar to.

What race do you pick, who do you look like and why? What would you do different?

Personally, I'd change my race and appearence to be similar to the guy that played Ra in the stargate film, because, well, he was just so fine, with all the potential activities that entails. What race is he anyway?

According to IMDB he is Jaye Davidson, born Alfred Amey in California to a Ghanaian father and English mother.

I'd get the blue chick to make me Samoan.

I'm Irish.

Asian so I can be smooth and tan

I'd choose to become black, just so I could compare my experiences as a black person with mine as a white person.

Black, and I'd change my appearance so I look like an amalgam of several of my male students from this year. Just so I have a slightly better understanding of how the world sees them.

Japanese. And a chick. Just for larks.

I would have thought the transformation would involve more than simply a change of skin pigmentation.

Latino.

The OP specifies you can change your appearance to look like some specific individual of another race; the boys I have in mind all look, frankly, like a white suburbanite's idea of a gangsta (cornrows, tattoos, the works), though none of them are actually in gangs.

since I'm a mutt anyways I shall become a shapeshifter...

Whatever the race from Krypton are called. I want to be able to fly and throw trains at buildings.

Albino. Just to stand out.

Just not in clear sunlight.

I'm happy as I am.

Indian or asian.

Whatever has the least hair.

I want to live without being a sweat bucket.

Its called a razor, dude. Not a new invention.

We have these wonderful things called hats now...

I'd try albino if it actually qualified (unsure. It is like a member of another race... I guess...?)

Really, though, I'd like to try Maori.

I'd change myself to look exactly like me only tanner and slightly more attractive.

Because this is face-changing magic and all.

I don't feel like changing faces but a temporary CHA bonus wouldn't hurt.

I'd go with First Nations and try to get my tax exemption fast tracked. Mmmm, 10 years of income tax all refunded...

Asian, Han Chinese to be precice although one that is about 1.85 meters tall.

Zor

And a third vote for albino.
