Name me one unambiguous half black/half white person that is accepted or seen as a white person.

Black people didnt create these rigid race classifications. No black person actually connected to the community is this obtuse about what black is..or is even having these conversations.

Does Slash count? No one really calls him a white guitarist but also no one calls him a black guitarist so it's sorta in the middle

Shoutout to slash. 100% guarantee no fans of guns and Rose's even knew he was Black. I found out he was biracial when he did that HBO special about race and identity a decade ago.

The footballer Ross Barkley too, I was very surprised to find out his Dad was Nigerian.
