I'm of African descent and my sister looks completely black, but I didn't look black. I was the super-nerdy kid who was also willing to fight.
The Jewish background is not that far from the black groove. Blacks are downtrodden, Jews are downtrodden, therefore they have something in common in that affliction. Being downtrodden often makes one more empathetic and sympathetic.
Harry: Cookie, do you know what a black hole is? Cookie: Sure, that's how I make my livin'!
Vernita Green: [somewhat to herself, as she gets her daughter's cereal] Black Mamba. I shoulda been motherfuckin' Black Mamba.

Will Turner: This is either madness... or brilliance. Jack Sparrow: It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide.

Barbossa: Ten years you carry that pistol and now you waste your shot. Will Turner: He didn't waste it.

[after Jack steals the Interceptor] Officer: That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen. Norrington: So it would seem.
[after breaking Jack out of jail] Will Turner: Hurry, someone would have heard that. Jack Sparrow: Not without my effects.
Jack Sparrow: I thought you were supposed to keep to the code. Mr. Gibbs: We figured they were more actual guidelines.

Elizabeth: You're despicable. Jack Sparrow: Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you saved mine. We're square.
