This reminds me (with the 23andme points) of a point I've made in the past which is that a lot of woke policies or recommendations (even if it's just theoretical in most cases and more of an "advisory" thing) isn't really feasible without clearly defined official racial categories assigned to everyone like in South Africa and that such discussion often devolves into a sort of neo-skull measuring (see the talk after the Boulder supermarket shooting about if the perpetrator counted as a "white male".)
That said I have been saying for awhile that lumping in African-Americans with other groups of black people as just "black" (like people do here with African immigrants even though they definitely don't act as a coherent community) is quite silly.
