it shouldn't matter to any of us. More importantly, it shouldn't matter to HIM either.

What do you think? Does he classify himself by pointless cosmetic stereotypes?

Yep.


Back when I was a teenager at home, every once in a while my mom - who always tries to not be overtly "prejudiced" - would scrutinize some olive-skinned or kinky-haired (etc.) person on TV, and ask "Is he black?" (not out of bigotry; really just for her own information), to which I'd respond, "Mom, if you really have to ask, then do you really have to ask?"

Obama is of both European and African ancestry.

It is really getting to the point where we should throw away the whole black/white concept.



The entire American style of "classifying" a person's "race", or for that matter, "ethnicity", is so arbitrary and rife with inconsistencies as to be utterly (and factually) useless.

He's an Eastern Hemispherian-American ...same as me.
