Not all of Africa is black...
Yes I am very well aware of that, but how else did you want me to phrase it just so I had all my bases covered. You know what I meant. African can mean nationality or it can mean ethnicity (which is a word with different meanings depending on region).
Edit: Don't jump me with the African isn't a country point because Asian and Latino gets used often even though there is huge diversity among those regions too.
You can't just narrow down being black to just either skin tone, heritage or culture. It means different things in different places to different people.
And none of that really has anything with what I was saying. It has nothing to do with what black is or isn't, but with what these squids could be.
Which is why I am asking you what you consider to be black. We can't have this conversation unless you say what you think black is. Otherwise, to the rest of us that apply that term to skin colour, you make no sense.
