Do you care more about the integrity of a classification system that defines you or racist administrative conflation that keeps everything blurred but keeps us arbitrarily unified against the same racism?
The integrity of the system to accurately classify various different ethnic groups without broad conflations by reflecting accuracy in one’s social, cultural, national, etc origins and making it fluid enough to constantly update itself despite how it disaggregate us into separate yet more ethical and truthful categories
OR
Conflating these ethnic groups under broad administrative labels that are filtered by archaic colonial language that was based off racist taxonomic systems. Yet keeps up “united” under an ideological of “We Are Black” or as I would say “phenotypical conflation” that keeps us arbitrarily united under a banner that same colonial structure produced
Is unity worth more than the truth? And if that unity is built on racist distortions, is it really unity at all?
Systems of integrity or systems of conflation ?
