I identify as James from Arnes (Not James Arness, I have no gun).

I have a number of other "identities" that are applied to me due to my particular set of circumstances, but I'm James.

It is true, as a white man in North America, I have the luxury of pretending I exist independently of all the labels. It's a delusion of course; all politics are identity politics. That being said, to purposely put one on yourself as a conscious choice seems like putting the yoke on yourself.
