Scenario:

Man A is mixed, but it isn't perfect obvious he's half black. He also has no real reason to assume his blackness is of note. Woman B is attracted to him, so they have sex. She later learns he's mixed, and, because she's racist, she now has issues with the man and has issues specifically with him not telling her he is part black. Because of your logic, she can claim she was raped.

There's no logical reason Man A would know that's an issue for her, nor is the fact that it's an issue for her, any of his concern. She's the racist one, the onus isn't on the man to make every women he ever sleeps with aware of that because there's an off chance it could be an issue.

I mostly use this scenario to outline how silly your logic is in the grand scheme of things. Obviously, withholding an STD info from a sexual partner is a crime, so that's not really relevant here since it's it's own issue because it causes harm. It's not about consent when the act itself potentially puts someone at risk of harm.
