I said by US standards and by any other quantifiable measure, the indigenous inhabitants of Australia wouldnt and shouldnt be considered black. Seeing as black is defined as anyone from the sub saharan african diaspora (not just anyone with dark skin), people who left Africa while there were still neanderthals in europe shouldnt be called black today. No matter how dark their skin is.
I brought up indians of the Deccan who have very dark skin but their genes more closely resemble those of europeans than black people.
No the US standard isnt a global standard. Im using language as it is defined in the US. Seeing as most of us are from the US.
