What is culturally black? Culture of black people in Kenya will be different to culture of black people in the Caribbean, to black people in the US, the UK, France, etc. The culture of two black families on the same street may well be vastly different as their skin tone is irrelevant.

Culture can be regional, perhaps religious or within a regional ethnic group, but not racial in a generic term. There is little similarity in culture between Indians and Pakistanis, as there is little similarity between black Americans and Zulus.

That's sort of what I mean. You are what you grow up in. If you grew up with a black family in the US you're likely to feel more aligned with that culture. At least the concept is less nebulous than gender lol. For that I was thinking US black as they're the main ones that seem to do the black culture thing. Other places it tends to be the group. But if you're somewhere else and a Jamaican family for example adopted you you'll've grown up with elements of Jamaican culture.

Even then, though, the fact that black culture is youth culture comes into play as well, especially with how trans ideology is built around "anyone who says they are is" (if a white or light-skinned person in a black family can identify as black, then that white person who really, really likes the new Drake album also can and indeed, you're evil if you don't let them.)

Shit, it's better because if this occurs that's in "this cannot possibly end well" (do people want to see a lot of racists identify as black so they can say the N-word with impunity? This is how you get a bunch of racists identifying as black so they can say the N-word with impunity.)
