I won't even tell you how many I have to date. Let me just say the two in this story are far from the oddest around.
The above link is a video of a comedian named Trevor Noah on Jay Leno. He is “mixed race” (black) from South Africa. Very interesting and VERY funny bit. Talks about how he always wanted to come to America so he could be black.
“Or as they call themselves ‘African American’ - they’re not - but we’ll play along”.
Then goes into the whole weird name thing.
