Racial identity is a matter of choice for the individual.

Niorin indentifies as being black. She decides, no one else.
rubbish
Not rubbish, Noirin sees herslef as black, she's claimed black identity numerous times.

No person can refuse another their personal sense of identity.

Tell me, why do you want to deny Noirin her identity, why do you want to project your own conceptions of what 'race' she is on to her. Why not accept her as she wants to be seen?

Why does it bother you?
