I think the categorization comes from the fact that historically, a person could have 1/8 of black blood in them and still be considered ‘black.’ Skin color was not the issue, nor were facial features. If one had even one black parent or grandparent or great-grandparent, they were categorized as being black.

Unfortunately, many times the property value goes down and the crime rate goes up when a neighborhood changes from white to a minority group. Being black, I of course don’t like to hear those statements, either. My only response would be to tell your grandmother that while that is true, to not form stereotypes and opinions about black people as a whole using that fact alone.
