How can an albino black person be black if there’s no such thing as race?

Q: There are albinos in every race, and so therefore there are some among blacks. However, if race doesn’t exist, then how can this albino be black?

A: Because, while race has no anthropological or physical meaning, it certainly has a societal one. A black person in the US is just plain treated differently than a white person. Due to the way we tend to ghettoize ourselves (thank you, white flight), they may be raised differently and have different interests, experiences, and so on. You can often still tell when a person with pale skin has African ancestry, since what we call the black race has different facial features, on average, than those we call the white race. So an albino black person will still be treated like a black person, so he or she is perfectly right in claiming that they’re black.
