I think it's more, "Everyone around you is going to see and treat you as black, so don't get too attached to your nuanced ideas about identity, because you're carrying the same baggage as me no matter how complex you try to make it." And Huey's a jerk about it, because Huey's character is to be abrasive and blunt and not to care very much about other people's feelings. I see it as, he thinks he's doing her a favor by forcing her to confront what he sees as an inescapable fact of living in a racist society.

He is being a jerk, but. . . there's a lot behind it that doesn't necessarily excuse him being a jerk, but does make it less arbitrary than it looks sometimes.
