And even if true, the point I'm making is about the ability to find out if you choose to care at any point in your life. If you're white and ever choose to care, you can figure it out. If you're black, you can't.
You don't have to think that's the most important thing in the world, and you can say that it only matters to a few people, but you can also acknowledge that that difference exists.
For that minority (again, to go along with your assertion) of black people who care, it might be painful to have no way of figuring it out.
Totally legit opinion, and a totally subjective one. Someone else might care a lot about that because that person mattered a lot to them personally or was defining to their family identity, or just because they choose to place importance on family.
Personally, I tend to think more like you when it comes to myself. I'm just not pompous enough to think that's objective in any way or that I get to tell someone else how to conceptualize their identity.
