Over the past 5 years, U.S. presidents have been 100% black. That's a stunning statistic. :)

- mtdewcmu 13y agoOf course, it depends on how you define race, and one can get very hair-splitting about that. But what's thought of as black or African-American in the US is not unlike mestizo in Latin America -- a blend of varying amounts of two racial backgrounds. The fact that Obama has 50% African and 50% European ancestry probably makes him more "African-American" than if he had 100% African ancestry.
