    That’s race in general too, same thing happens with mixed black people who grew up in an affluent white context.

    Race is basically “made real” through racism, which is largely dependent on economic relations. Our modern notion of race didn’t really develop until the 1700s. To me being anti-racist is about criticizing the notion of race itself, with the understanding that it’s been made in to a real construct that has power through racism.
