> You might as well go and argue that some particular person from Africa can't be called “black” because his skin pigmentation is brown.

What if the person from Africa has brown skin pigmentation and are descendants of people from India? I had a friend in college like that who fit those qualities, but I am pretty sure he would experience backlash if he referred to himself as a black person (in the US).
