You're advocating a return to the one-drop rule? What do you think race is, Heimdekledi? And being Jewish doesn't mean the same thing to all people. Unlike sex, which we all observe easily and unconsciously, every day of our lives, about people whose racial or ethnic identity may vary based on location.

No, the discussion was that if because a racist might exists who wouldn’t want to unknowingly sleep with people whom they would consider a part of a group that they hate, should people whom consider themselves black for reasons of ancestry be forced to disclose the identity before every sexual encounter?

No, why would they? These hypothetical white skinned people who all identify as black only sleep with white people and need to assume they are all white supremacists until proven otherwise, in the interests of preserving white supremacists' purity?

You think this is a good analogy?

Because the bigotry of some people is not a good enough reason to force people to disclose non-relevant facts about themselves without being prompted

The only comforting thing about hearing "sexual orientation is bigotry" is knowing that it is so deeply, profoundly, inherently stupid as to never gain widespread support.
