"Obama is not l/4 white; he is l/2 white"


 
Just wanting to correct the statistics given on Obama's racial  
ancestry.  His mother was l00% white.  That makes him l/2 white  
rather than l/4.  My husband says he is not very black culturally.  I  
think the blackest thing about him is his wife and daughters.  He  
looks like his white grandfather, except for his "tan."  This may  
seem unimportant, and actually it is unimportant from a rational  
point of view; but when discussing such things it is wise to keep  
things accurate.
