I have a friend from Argentina who did say that in South America it would be odd to classify people like Jennifer Beals as black because people aren't socialized to think of light skinned black people as black. So I accept it but that does not excuse Americans making that claim. The sheer amount of things you would have to ignore. The mind boggles.
