Regardless of where you are from you are white. I don't understand why that's such a difficult or offensive concept for you.

I am American. My ancestors are from African slaves, Native Americans, and Germans. Yet I am black. I do not pretend to be something else. I am as the world sees me and I am black and proud of being me. You have white privelege and you are trying to make this about what country your family is from. It doesn't matter what country you are from. I really don't think this is a difficult to understand.

A man can be from Nigeria and be black, be from Switzerland and be black, be from India and be black.

What do you think a whit person is? Only a European. No, that is not true at all.
