The irony is that while it’s politically correct to refer to American blacks as African-Americans, Obama, even though not considered by the likes of Morgan Freeman to be genuinely ‘black’ anymore, is actually more legitimately an African-American than most blacks here since his father was born in Africa.
Well, Obama’s biological father was from Africa, but he sure didn’t raise him. Obama was raised by whites and Indonesians in cities that were like 1% black (Honolulu and Jakarta).
But Freeman’s point, that Obama is half white biologically, is really silly coming from someone with so much white blood that he actually has freckles.
