I am mixed with black (w/ blond hair & blue eyes) so I don't "identify" as black. The few I do tell aren't too surprised. They can tell we're brothers. They also know I'm not racist if they know I play basketball well and have such an allure for traditionally non-white music and media.
This guy just called me "my n1gga" since we have many similarities and got along well compared to those other people in a foreign country who speak another language. Many black folks don't like to travel to foreign countries, especially alone as there are so few and they tend to get to know each other in a community.
