They are consumed with the false dichotomy of denying their own race and history, while openly encouraging anti-European identity politics at the same time. There are individuals with specific ethnic lineages, and groups of ethnically similar people tend to exhibit the same characteristics and have their own "bell curves". Of course there are specific individuals in any group that are exceptional and also retarded. The concept of "white" and "black" is also an oversimplification. "White" is hundreds of ethnic groups and distinct cultures. So is "black". These broad terms are used because the average person is too lazy to understand reality on a finer scale, and people who are in power can use this simple "two party" division to control the lazy people. The Basque don't identify as French because both are "white". Western Ukrainians don't identify as Russian, but Eastern Ukrainians do. Identity is extremely regional and also ethnic, but it's been homogenized into simplistic terms because people are too stupid to appreciate the differences, and two "groups" makes people easier to control. This is no different than the national level "two party" system that exists in every western country, or sports teams. People naturally think in terms of "us vs. them", a tendency that makes them easy to control. Divide and conquer.
