She is a half-Sioux and tribal member who originally lived in Standing Rock when I did (her family also moved to Bismarck later too, though her mother still works there and commutes more than an hour each way.) Meaning she's actually an "American" literally, as opposed to someone of European descent (OK she's half-European but a lot more "American" than most people living here.) Her husband is a white South African she met while he was working in the US on the oil fields, and they got married in South Africa and she lives there now, in a rural area on the Cape. She had her baby two weeks ago in South Africa, obviously the baby has dual citizenship and would be eligible for tribal membership.

I suppose she would actually be an American-African, the baby though, I dunno, I suppose either designation could go first.

My friend may be "Other", but I don't see why her 3/4 white son wouldn't be "white". I suppose someone 3/4 white and 1/4 black would be "Coloured", but to consider him Coloured considering the normal makeup of the group is quite odd.

And I wonder how many here would dispute his eligibility to run for President?
