According to an article by Paul Farhi of the Washington Post, reprinted Saturday in your San Francisco Chronicle, there is some sort of controversy raging because comedian Fred Armisen, who is of white and Asian origin, was chosen to portray Barack Obama, who is of Caucasian and African origin, in a skit on "Saturday Night Live."

Fred's multiracial (German, Japanese, Venezuelan). Barry's multiracial or biracial. What's the problem?

How come nobody complained about Darrell Hammond impersonating Jesse Jackson?
