I managed to miss that thread and will visit it.
I just hope that there are real arguments there, not merely personal unsupported opinions and assertions.

It's not that simple. Before "political correctness," anyone could go to the public records and request the birth certificate of anyone.
The practical need for this should be obvious.
Today, phony "privacy" issues has created a huge industry for criminals, who can, and do, regularly get birth certificates for criminal purposes. They always could.
A perusal of the originals, if they in fact are "public," should answer the obvious question: how many other original recorded birth (from the late 1959-1965 period!) certificates list either parent as "African?"
If the answer is zero, I smell a rat.
