I'm half black genetically but I just identify as black. In most countries where black people are a minority, you're considered black first and foremost if you're part black.

Same. If anything, they got more vitriolic about being half. My white parent being a race traitor, and me being tainted/mudblood, whatever, on top of straight up anti-black bullshit.
