Where did you get this idea from? As far as reincarnation is concerned, the soul is genderless, why should it transfer to other lives? Perhaps our spirits take upon an avatar of the gender that most closely resembles it's energy signature, which is not constant but is everchanging as it experiences this universe, likewise with race.
That is not to say that gender or race are purely material concepts with no spiritual relevance, rather those spirits, experiencers, of more similar energy signature, desire, take upon avatars that correspond to those differences. "Male" spirits are not innately male nor are "female" spirits innately female, rather they are spirits which emit different proportions of masculine and feminine energies. Females tend to be more right brain dominant, a higher creative and emotional focus, whereas males tend to be more left brain dominant, more logically focused, gender in this context is a purely an expression of the soul. I am sure there are some spirits who are more neutral in this context, who incarnate in either form 50-50 for several lifetimes in a row, others may go many lifetimes without ever incarnating as the other gender, it's to the individual really. Race is similar in that respect, different races have different spiritual attributes and that is why it is important for us to stick to our own kind. We reincarnate amongst those who are like us. Our children are our ancestors, we came from our ancestors because they were like us.
