This is what I'm catching from this mumbo jumbo too. These categories apply to the US, and only to the society structure of the US. The particular images that are around these days about these terms, they're just what people from the US would think in. But, thought wider than their definitions, there'd be many other sorts of people out there which would objectively have to get sorted into these categories too, if you wanted to practice that intersectionalism seriously, but those who worship it don't do that (as they never waste a thought about them and their place in the spectrum). So... this kind of thinking is a whole lot of nonsense. At least for the rest of the world than America.
In America, black people have no other thing linking them than their blackness and the experiences they make based on that - barely anyone of them really knows which part of Africa his ancestors came from, what would be his "original" culture and heritage and what would be "his people" so he'd develope another link. Same are a lot of white people in America. (Although among them, they know more often which country of Europe or Asia their roots lead to.) So there is nothing else between them than to draw a link based on race and skin color or religion - otherwise they'd only be just "Americans" (and this, perhaps, is too vague an identity).
Other parts of the world aren't like this because there are other things which can link people and turn them into a community. So that's why in the rest of the world, in all fairness, it can be possible that black people kill other black people or are hostile to them, just like among white people too, because they're different tribes/nationalities and those don't like each other.
