Yes it would. The US system of racial classification is not the only kind. Areas like the Caribbean often include factors such as socioeconomic status and education when considering race. Also these areas are less rigid when assigning an individual to a slot on the racial continuum. There are some who would be considered white in such an area and black in the US. Race is only a social construction based on displayed phenotype, yet the US adheres fully to the concept.
