It's very dangerous to little black girls, because if you start calling this woman below black, and they start thinking that is the standard of black beauty (like Halle), then you have actual black women seeing their features as unacceptable. They start bleaching their skin, getting perms to try to match what they think the world sees as the standard beauty for a black woman. That is wrong, because this person is not black, she is mixed with white. She is biracial and thus her features are not that of a black person. She just shares SOME features. How does it look to tell your dark skin daughter that THIS is a beautiful black woman?
Well standards of beauty are unrealistic and damaging any way you put it. Not all cac girls are blonde, blue eyed with big breasts.
I see it like this. Race has a huge social aspect to it. If her social experience was that of a black girl, grew up around black people, referred to as black by other races, how is she not black? She self-identifies with black because culturally in America that's what she is.
Guess who Drake played in Degrassi? The popular black ball player. All his life he was treated as a black man. Yeah genetically, his skin color and hair type is a mix of two ethnic groups, but so what? Malcolm X had a clear white ancestry, would anyone dare say he wasn't black? shyt, he was probably more black than all them dark skinned dudes at the time.
Its not like humans are really genetically separated by categories of skin tone and hair type. Humans decided to classify themselves by those factors. Genetically speaking, Rashida Jones might be closer to that 100% black not one cac blood dude in the middle of Nigeria than u r. So might Ellen DeGeneres. Race is superficial, it's a social construct, therefore we should also look at it through a social lens.
