Wouldn’t stating your ethnicity make it appear like it is a choice how you identify as? Are you really telling me a white dude has right to identify as a black man or an Asian?
Rachel Dolezal was truly ahead of her time.

Ok, so I checked the responses and one of the hosts mentioned they actually do that for people that are visually impaired and have difficulty distinguishing between speakers. If so it make sense what they did.

Forcing me to describe myself as I actually look is...um...physicaltraitphobist.
I'll only describe how I identify myself.

"Hi I'm Fbh, I'm vaguely asian, in great shape and I have spiky black hair that might turn blonde if someone kills my friend Krillin during this presentation"

That’s a fat lie with the he/him, she/her bs. Just because someone is blind doesn’t mean they’re retarded

people sound different so you would pick up speech patterns, accents, volume

for example, my voice has been compared to a kettle at whistling stage

It's almost as people on this forum just jump to conclusions

Forget cancel culture, the new trend is Pronoun Culture. I give it a year before we’re required by law, upon entry to a bank, to state all our defining characteristics.

How big is their campus if 10 native tribes could work a subsistence level society on it?

And how do they say all that physical characteristic stuff without EVER breaking character?

Its painful to watch though, plus I would think that not having to deal with all that shit of how people look would be a hidden benefit of being blind. The pronoun stuff is pointless when we aren't going to actually interact with them, but whatever.

As if we haven't had radio for over a hundred years where this never happened, nor has it ever been important.

It's nonsense.

I continually think I'm hearing Saagar Enjeti when I'm actually listening to Robby ... Whatever his last.name is... I always forget it. They sound very much alike .. especially when Saagar talks slower.
 
If a group of people are finding it helpful and considerate, why do you care?
Do they though? Do blind people care about hair color at all? Skin color?

Aren’t they just trying to push racial identity into the last vestige of people not infected by this endless drivel and who can’t even appreciate the difference?

Even so, Why the fuck blind people needs to know the speaker's skin color for?

It's just dumb shit.
