His mother was white, his father was black. So he's black. Can someone point out any logic to this? Let's put aside the real truth that he is a human and nothing else and go with the popular labels.
The definition of African American in Wikipedia allows for partial African blood, so accordingly, Obama can be called African American.
Obama's mother has English, Irish, Dutch, French and German heritage. By using the same logic [sic] that makes it possible to call Obama African American, it is equally valid to call him European American.
Wouldn't it be more accurate to call Obama a European/African American or an African/European American?
Why the complete disregard for his European heritage?
Why does a half black, half white man get to be black?
