"What about white African-Americans (e.g. a white born in South Africa, but now an American Citizen)?"
You mean like Teresa Heinz/Kerry? She was proud to call herself an African American on many occasions. My wife is Greek and was born in Egypt, which makes my white kids African Americans, too. Now I'm going to have to look into the scholarship possibilities for my children's minority status.
This was a sarcastic post, but the thought of really doing it is making me smile!

I know a guy who’s a white South African immigrant. He says he got his American citizenship during his Junior year, and marched straight to the financial aid office, filled out the paperwork, and got a full scholarship for his Senior year, as an African American.
He said the black clerk in the financial aid office was not amused. I sure was.

I hadn’t thought about all the Egyptians that have immigrated, but it sounds good to me. It’s the fallout of Political Correctness speech having unexpected outcomes. I heard some story about a white South African driving the HR dept crazy by insisting on checking the Afro-Am box.
