I wonder how a person's "race" or "ethnicity" can be broken down so minutely.

It is my undetstanding that Barack Obama is as much Caucasian or white as he is anything else. He just chooses to classify himself as "African American." Aren't we as American citizens legally allowed to classify ourselves by any race or gender we want to?

Also, how "pure" are any ethnic groups?
From what I understand, my background is Irish/English/American Indian on my Dad's side and German/English on my Mom's side. What does that make me? I consider myself Caucasian or White.

How racially "pure" are any American Indians or African Americans in this country with a couple of centuries of inter-marriage and rape in their backgrounds?

Really, does it matter?

I think we have more pure Native American's than we do any others.
