this just shows that race is a useless concept.

If a black person is raised in an all white neighborhood and has all white friends, is that person white?

Nope! Last time I checked, I am as white as snow. And I have always stood out as the minority were I grew up. That's just a ridiculous question. I have always stayed true to myself as a white woman. What I am will never change. I may listen to rap, I may have a black husband and four little gorgeous mixed kids, but that does't change who I am, a white woman.
edit: What 'way' is it that people just become?? Cultures are different in every state across amerca and in every country in the world. Just because you have common interests with somebody from another ethnicity doesn't change your ethnicicty. It just makes you a more cultured person. Families of any color are not that much different, my kids go to a school with mexicans, cubans, boricas, blacks, whites, indians, native americans, pakistanis and many more. One thing in common, we as parents all love our kids. And our kids are learning to love all types of people regardless of the tone of their skin. I believe this diversity is giving our children a step ahead in this world. Oh yeah, and I am not an "honorary black person". I am a white woman who is unbiased by race, religion or ethnicity.

You can't BECOME another race. No matter what culture your personality reflects...you are the race that you are. Bottom Line. I'm Mixed, My Mom is Black and my dad is White. My skin is white, but alot of my features are black. I stick out like a sore thumb in my neighborhood and my family. So what, I'm both no matter how I want to flip it!

No, his color won't change, but that probably won't matter to him, or any of his friends that really care about and like him.
What will probably happen is that he will act and talk the way most black people do, only because we all want to be like, and immitate our friends without even realizing it.
And there is nothing wrong with that. That just happens.
And personally I don't think anyone should think there is anything wrong with it, either white or black, or no matter what their color.
People say, be the way you really are. Well you are! They sometimes don't realize that, though. And that ought to stay just their problem.

The person isn't black, just trying to fit in with the kids in neighborhood, which is normal. Everybody wants friends.

No. If I was raised with raccoons does that mean I am a raccoon? Being black is a culture based on the race and the history. You cannot even wonder what it is like to be black because you are not black.
