I don't think anyone ever claimed he was half black or white? I only ever heard him called black. Kind of a sensitive subject in America.
I didn't know this but Mariah Carey is called a black woman in america because one of her parents is black or mixed. If she's black does that mean Obama is white? -

Yeah Obama is technically mixed race, but in America they tend not to call black people that, even if they really do look mixed. I find it strange.
Mariah looks more white than black, so people call her white or mixed.
I think black Americans claim she is black. That's what I read about. I was perplexed, I always thought she was white. That's why I find it funny. Because by their own definition that would make Obama white.
Another one was Wentworth Miller and even Johnny Depp (who apparently has a black ancestor). I saw millions of people on twitter calling them black. I was like wtf? -

She really does look like an Indian woman, though, not really an afro american.
I had a conversation with some Americans who were trying to tell me that Emilio Estevez was latino/hispanic and thus a POC. I tried to tell them his grandfather was from Spain in Europe and that he's European, but they didn't understand. I find it funny how obsessed with race Americans are, mainly the minorities seemingly. It's like they can't think straight. -

As someone who is one half Lakota, I'm a little disturbed that no indigenous people have been president yet. I'd think we would deserve a shot if anyone does. Although I've heard Obama had a smidge of Aniyunwiya in him but that's not good enough.
