Ambiguity is ambiguous itself. Sometimes we do not understand something because it is not clear. And sometimes it may be that our head is not clear enough to understand it. In both cases we say there is ambiguity.
I do not see any ambiguity in this post. People talk about black people almost everyday but what does it really mean for someone to be black? That is the simple focus of this topic.
I have provided the common understanding.
If you have another view you just clarify it here.
If you have a good understanding of racism you will know that it is not present on this post.
However, there is a big ambiguity in saying black means being black.The statement is clearly unclear.
