OMG! Are you one of those “African on the COLB” people, too?
ROTFLMAO!!!!
parsy, who says you are going to need a whole bunch of de-programming!
Read and learn. First paragraph, standard race classifications for vital statistics records:
“Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and ‘other nonwhite.’”
Newxt paragraph: Association of standards with actual birth certificates:
“A comparison of the race designation in matched sets of birth certificates and census records from the 1950 registration completeness test indicates very high agreement for white persons and Negroes.”

Conclusion: Strong reason to be suspicious of “African” racial classification on birth certificate.
