The responsibility to know better, then do better. Perceiving and categorizing every black student, patient, or research participant as African-American is the erasure of black history and culture. Conflating these two interconnected but distinct labels compels every black person to self-identify with an identity that is not a line with their experience. Consequently, in research, the nuances of ethnic differences within black experience and often overlooked, undermining the accurate representation of this historically disadvantaged population. In genetic counseling programs, discussion around diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice disproportionately focuses on the African-American experience. In genetic counseling appointments, black patients are often seen through a singular cultural lens, overlooking the fact that not all identify with the African-American experience within the us. The solution to inaccurate labeling of black people is to ask how every individual defines their race and ethnicity.
