What is a "black person"?
Depending on the culture, skin color does have some bearing on treatment, but this is a function of education.
America is by far the most racially diverse country in the world. To truely appreciate this, you need to compare diversity pie charts with other countries. America's pie chart cant even be fully illustrated because of the countless enteries, whereas all other countries neatly fall into a three or four segement pie chart. Again...if you havent seen this visual...you must...in order to fully grasp the magnitude of difference.
Before America, maybe the term "white person" had some relevance. But because of America these terms no longer have meaning, except to race-peddalrs from the left and racists from the left and right.
Long ago, someone might have used the term "black person" to describe of African decent based on a homogenous cultural view. Today however, the terms are more often used as political devises to keep constituents in a herd.
