Why half black half white still called black?

Question

I am wondering why people who are born from white and black parents still called black. Sometimes even when they are only 1/3 or 1/4 black they are still called black.

So something very interesting that I heard from a friend in Gabon: They call mixed kids “blanc or blanche”, which is white in french

So I think its just cultural differences. In Europe/US we’re all white and so even if someone is mixed to us they’re still “black”

But to africans (in Gabon) mixed kids are white
