That’s kind of what I thought at the time. That the father on the BC is not Obama Sr. Lots of possibilities that he was born in Kenya too . BO said so himself. That was the info that Brietbart revealed just before he died.
It looked “sanitized” for lack of a better term. I seem to recall at the time the Race was listed as “African-American”, and that term didn’t enter into wide use until decades later. Could be wrong, but I’d never heard it before the 1990s.
Seems to me he may have claimed foreign birth to either obtain preferential entry to a school or foreign scholarship $$, maybe under the Fulbright program. They locked down virtually everything related to his schooling so far all anybody knows he failed lunch.
It’s a good illustration of why “Affirmative Action” has devolved into a scam. If someone moves to America from the other side of the world, they weren’t a “minority” in their home country, never suffered racial discrimination in America, aren’t the descendants of American slaves - yet enjoy preferential hiring practices, scholarships, loans etc, all kinds of perqs.
This is something that blacks, and whites, should be shouting from the rooftops. Affirmative action quotas or whatever were expressly designed to right a specific wrong. Leftists are very skilled and corrupting existing legislation and programs.
