Thank you for that info, first I’ve heard it but it does answer that question.
I just found it a couple days ago myself. I never bothered to research the “African isn’t a race” claim until then. I got tired of the same rumors with no answers. So, I spent ten minutes to look it up. It answers the question in my mind.
Many have disregarded it because of the source. So I may actually take the time to find the data on ancestry.com. The child was born in 1907, so it should be available somewhere. If I look and find it, I’ll post it and ping you to it.
