I think most people conflate ethnicity and race on this board. Race and ethnicity are two different things. While ethnicity is mostly based on language and culture, race is based on genetic traits, colour, phenotype etc. For example: I see people tag Latinos/Hispanics as brown but the ethnicity isn't just about brown people - there are black, and white Latinos/Hispanics and their racial identities aren't intertwined despite having the same ethnicity.
Now, back to why I created the thread: some people are conflating creole with black. Creole is an ethnicity not a race. And there were European French (and a few Spanish) creoles before black people and other races were assimilated into creole, hence there are different dialects/variants of creole language. The Gullahs, for example, who form a subgroup of creole are distinctly black. But that doesn't negate the fact that all creoles aren't black. There are cac creoles, Indian creoles etc.
@Poitier no beef with you. You can call me a cac if you want, it doesn't bother me because I'm comfortable in my own skin and I doubt you're blacker than me. The only people I think might be blacker than me are Nilo-Saharan people somewhere in Kenya and South Sudan. Breh, you need to stop being hypersensitive because you're starting to look like a supremacist against other black people.
Paul Mooney: "everybody wants to be a nikka but nobody wanna be nikka". You can't claim everyone - the black struggle is deeper than a tan.

Is that all you have got, breh?
Throw stones, hide your hands, and claim victim. Who started the assumption?
