^This is what does not make sense. The whole reason this debate has become a hot topic recently is because Rachel Dolezal identifies as a black woman and many people strongly feel that she is NOT one.

Which would then point towards SOME involvement of biological indicators of race (skin colour, hair texture, nose size/shape, eye shape, etc.) in the formation of racial identity. These would be the only contributing factors that are quantifiable and resolute.
However people want to acknowledge biological indicators of race in an inconsistent fashion, dependent on who it is. And people want to defer to the racial identity claimed in an inconsistent fashion, dependent on who it is lol.
