Is Primarily Identifying As Creole Anti-Black?

As a highly mixed Louisiana Creole(/Latina), I find that identifying as Creole/Mixed is more fitting of my family’s Louisiana heritage & multiracial lineage/semi recent mixing as well as my ambiguous/“mixed” phenotype… Let’s explore why some people take offense to this, in the same way that some take offense to biracials identifying as biracial rather than simply black or African American. The taboo of one making Creole their primary ethnic identifier has led to many modern day Creoles not identifying as Creole.. at least not beyond some of them using it as their Instagram handle or as a hash tag under their selfies but if you ask their ethnicity, it’s rare for one to simply respond with “Creole.”
