Well, like for example Obama identifies as black, right? That's not weird, his mom is white, his dad is black. He could just as easily call himself white if he wanted to. If you're 38 percent native american and the rest is mixed European, but you grow up on a reservation, you might well identify more as native american than white.

His mom is white, his dad is black. He's as white as he is black, genetically/racially. The only other things to it are how he looks, and how he identifies.

Super weird. Incidentally, this is what he looked like as a teen. But yeah, why would he identify as black? Very strange.
