Quite right, Grab, about Obama's father being African (from Kenya, specifically) and not an American citizen, hence not "African-American" in any sense. Okay, so Obama is half African, half Caucasian, and all American. Maybe Rapaire's term (African-Caucasian-American) is the most politically correct... or how about this: Human Being.
----------------------------
If Obama's father came from Italy and went back, and his mother was a mixture, like most people here are, I would be inclined to call him an Italian-American. I don't know how they define it..but if he eats Italian food, sings Italian food, has a high percentage of Italian blood..I would feel safe calling someone 50% an Italian American. Now Italy is a country, and Africa is a continent..so to be consistent I would call him a Kenyan-American.

I have never ever heard the term Caucasian-American. And that is a mountain range.generally refers to lightter-skinned people of European or Asian border countries I believe...and Kenya is a country..we are mixing apples and bananas.

Now, the American continent includes Greenland. Probably not too many slaves from there. But maybe so in Viking times. The Jamacain slave population includes (I think..I am hazy..might have been another place in that neck of the woods..) Irish slaves who intermarried.

They are doing it on dogs..DNA stuff..just in USA today..perhaps they can already do people..say you have ancestors from Nigeria, Egypt, Belgium and Argentina...mg
