Can we agree that she is "a woman of colour" and ditch the race semantics?
Everyone is 'of color'.
Even pale white people like me are of a color.
I'm not going to call her a black woman simply because that's
how she wants to identify. She's not black to me. And I"m
sure she doesn't give a rats backend what I think of her.
So it's a nothingburger.

Yes she is.
Nope.
The vast majority of Jamaicans are of Sub-Saharan African descent, with minorities of Europeans, Indians, Chinese, Middle Eastern, and others of mixed ancestry.

Then you aren't addressing it.
If you saw that woman walking down the street and didn't know her ...
would you say 'that's a black woman' to yourself? Answer ... no.

why is her colour and the "fact" that she's black and biracial of concern to you?
