How, exactly, was the Prime Minister’s great-great grandfather an “African American?” Did he ever live in America? This pc absurdity rears it’s ugly head every time someone black NOT from America is discussed. (African-Swedish?) It annoys me to no end.
During the 2006 election, it was brought to attention that Reinfeldt's paternal great-grandfather, John Reinfeldt, was the illegitimate son of Emma Dorotea Reinfeld, a maid from Eckau in present-day Latvia, and John Hood, an African American circus director from New York.
So if this is the case, the article is indeed correct.
