African-American is one such division within the society of the USA.
Here in the US, race is primarily a visual thing (Phenotypes and such), with ancestry being a necessary but ultimately secondary aspect of it.
Therefore, as Obama is considered black by the standards of the society we live in, who the fuck cares about precise measurements and shit? This is absolutely pointless. Race is absolutely pointless and arbitrary, so why the fuck is it important that the concept be reflected in an accurate or positive way?
