      Seriously. Like I would absolutely love to see some sort of statistical analysis that proves that some specific field or fields of work are predominantly staffed by “black” people. Just because I have heard conservatives and liberals refer to certain jobs as black or brown people jobs, and I’m totally sick of that shit.

      The real issue there is trying to define black people other than actual skin tone. Far too many people want definitions that are based on nebulous data, such as the person’s genetic bloodline, or the region their ancestors were from.

      Far as I can tell, as a white person that damn near glows in the dark, your skin color is only partially tied to who your parents were. You might be the statistical outlier because of your genes.

      Also skin color only seems to be indicative of how quickly, and how badly you’ll get a sunburn. White people are straight up allergic to the sun, unless we get a “sunburn” while fucked up on hallucinogens.
