It is relevant if you are suggesting that it is term that should be used instead of "black"

It doesn't matter that it is scientific. White slave owners called Africans the n word because they thought it was scientific too. It doesn;t make it right.

You can not use that term to define physical attributes. I gave a perfect example for why you can not do that. So you insisting this still without any examples does not support your opinion much.

She is spanish, period. She is not African American although she looks like she could pass for it, thats my point.

TFW someone asks if you are Kyrie Irving.
