Why is Obama considered to be a black American instead of a multi racial American? Wasn't his mother white? What happened to that side of the family? I think calling him biracial would show how he represents the diversity of America. Barack Obama is just like America is today, a diverse melting pot of all kinds of people. He is not just black.
