Sorry I'm wading back into this discussion late. Ideas of passing and perceptions of race may be relative to your experience, to some degree, I guess. Here's a public official I worked with in the 90s (black) that my ex-wife (from Spain) refused to believe was black:

She thought they looked more like people from the south of her country or the Middle East and struggled to wrap her head around it. Or perhaps what she really struggled with was US racial categorization.

This is the only country crazy enough to call them Black...and we're the only people crazy enough to go along with it.

The Black Power movement always held that blackness came from the 3 Cs: Color, Culture and Consciousness. 2.5 out of 3 ain't bad. They've got more than Clarence Thomas, lol.
