Excellent commentary on what is indeed a highly complex issue. You are right - context is everything. While the simple black/white paradigm does not apply in most of Latin America and the Caribbean, there are other things going on below the surface. When I lived in the Dominican Republic, for example, it was an article of faith that someone as black as José Peña Gómez couldn't be elected president, despite being the country's most popular politician. I am American, and fondly would call my Venezuelan partner "negra" from time to time, as one might do in the Caribbean. Then Derek Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd's throat until he died, and the racil divide in the U.S. returned to front and center in the global conversation. My girlfriend told me to to strop calling her "negra." Context is everything.
