Your self-identified race still very much exists. It's like saying a 'labradoodle' has no breed at all, because it's a mix of two different breeds. Clearly dog breeders and consumers don't think so.
Dog ancestry isn't as problematic as human ancestry. There is no reason for a "labradoodle" to not be labelled as such.
Throughout American history people of mixed white/black ancestry have been labelled "black" and thus lived in Black communities. Hence the "black" community here is much more "white" than actual Africans.
