I don't hate Africans, I just don't believe that race is merely skin-deep
I don't hate hippos but I wouldn't want them loose in my neighborhood

Do you believe you are the same race as Africans?
Plainly not
Have you never met an "oreo" or "coconut" (dark on the outside, white on the inside)?
I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I've met Black people that speak and act and think very much like White people to where the only difference appears to be their skin color, and the texture of their hair. And I'm not saying that's good or bad, just making an observation. Obviously the context and culture in which one is nurtured plays a role.
Yeah I've met some Africans who I regard as assimilated into middle-class Anglo-American culture.
I've also met some Africans born abroad and clearly assimilated into global Anglo culture.
However, this doesn't mean all Africans are assimilated, nor that such assimilation washes away all meaningful differences.
