They are still the ethnicity of their ancestors. Because so many black Americans don't know their ethnic background, they are collectively known as black, which is both a color and a distinct group of people. They would still be "ethnically black". But an African with albinism is Malawian and Albino, or Tanzanian and Albino, or may identify with their specific tribe.
In east Africa, albinos are thought to carry special powers and are often killed for their body parts or attacked.
I'm still paler than those albinos, js. They are very pretty btw♡ I know that my jet black cat (like the one above) mated with my greyish white Siamese cat and their babies may come out looking just like him even though she looks just like a panther:) So are they black cats? Their mom is.
They will still have the same facial features except for the color. They will still be black.
They'd be part of the black community since it's a matter of culture and less about color. The person might get mistake for a Caucasian, but once the speech patterns and background story come out they'll get the same treatment as any other black person. It's kinda sad, when you think about it. Race isn't about skin color. It's about the differences in behavior, speech patterns, ancestry, and wealth.
They're black, because albinism is a genetic disorder, not a dominant gene like those who pass down white skin color

Where's the choice:
That would make human you piece of racist!
and I am Asexual/Aromantic?
They're still black. They're just black albino's. That's like asking if a light skinned black person is still black even though they have a tan like a Native American and not brown/dark brown skin like other people of African decent.
I guess it'd depend on what they personally identified as, but I think I'd still consider them black.
Color; yes
Race; no
I have pale skin but I'm not a white European. Same with me.
They're Black. Race isn't just determined by color, but by many other features.
They will be Asian , I haven't seen you for a long time bro how are you?
They're still black, because of their biological parents. It doesn't make them a different race. Just as tan white boys aren't latinx. They're white still.
Being albino doesn't change their ethnicity. They still have black blood.
The DNA is still Negroid, so self-evidently they are black.
21st Century, and some are still seeing 'color'? WTF?
They are a person, like you, and what difference does it make, what 'color' they are?
They'd be both in a way. Black as in they were African American, but white in the way that their skin is white.
Amazing. Look at the majority saying they would still be black. What happened to your social justice "race is just skin color" narrative?
I suppose the person would be a white african-american.
Calling them white would be like calling me a "person of color" because of all freckles.
If all your skin was peeled off, what would you be?
If they're white that certainly makes em white no matter albino born.
they would still be black
they are black.
Black they are treated badly in Africa
African but albino
