And ordinarily I would agree. If someone was 75% white and 25% asian I'd say they were white. Or viceversa. But black I treat differently. I guess there's the reason why they had the "one drop rule". Blacks, phenotypically, just are so different from every other group. Their skin, their hair, their nose, their voice, their facial structure, their proclivities.
They also don't usually blend well with any other race.
White and Japanese, good.
White and Hispanic, good.
Hispanic and Arab, good.
But anything and black just seems to be black, and the kids always associates with their black side way more.
What you're talking about is cultural as an effort to for the Left to push racial nationalism. The one drop rule actually shows how silly it was because of an inverse of what we currently have.
People who were explicitly white in all but official Mississippi declaration, and were not visibly non-white, were required to allow themselves to be discriminated against. This is basically the whole point of why Homer Plessy sued. There is nothing particularly special about Africans that would make them "unable to blend well with any race". Particularly you bring up Arabs, which are more pre-disposed to violence, inbreeding, and tribalism, explicitly due to Islam.
There is nothing particularly different about their voices, skin, hair, nose, facial structure, proclivities, blood, organs, genetics, phenotypes, etc, that would make them sufficiently different from any other population of humans, including indigenous Americans or Pacific Islanders.
It sounds like you're just back-rationalizing your own biases.

Okay. Whatever.
