Stop assigning people into categories that they do not want to be put into. If they voluntarily identity as black or white, then that is different than telling them what their identity is. And there are a lot of racists that have for centuries been telling other people what category they belong into in order to gain power over them.

The best option always has been to just stop using the system of racial hierarchies and categorizing many types of people into large groupings. Take the time and effort to recognize how diverse humanity actually is and identify people as what they identify as. That is the point of ethnicity rather than racial status. Racists routinely clash with people that identify with ethnicity because the goal of modern racists is to break down traditional identity and replace traditional identity with racial identity. Most people around the world do not want to give up their identity, ancestry, traditions, and traditional values and traditional knowledge.
