Black or African American - A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. So if you are black from South America, it doesn't count?
And if you are white from South Africa, it doesn't count?
What if you are an albino child born to black parents?

I know, right? Now I realize that they can't make everyone happy with their classifications, but come on. Middle Easterners are White?

So if you are black from South America, it doesn't count? In any other country, their black people who just happen to speak Spanish or Portuguese. Only in the USA is it deemed something other than "black" if they happen to actually be black but their main language is one of the Latin-based languages. It's stupid, I know.
Speaking of which, I wonder what category Arubans fall into, since they speak a variety of languages, including Dutch and Spanish.
This whole categorizing thing is a twisted knot that is designed to balkanize, so twisted that none of these categories makes any sense.
