Something I hadn't seen anyone else mention: in some parts of the publishing world, "urban" does mean "black". "Urban Fiction" is explicitly about blacks and for blacks, as can be shown if you do an image search for "urban book cover". Luckily, bookstores are diligent in making sure white people never see these books.
