Just too funny!! Reminds me of Theresa Heinz Kerry, the other white African American.
Poor guy most likely said it innocently and honestly, too. Just didn’t know about the race Gestapo keeping an eye out for people like him.

When the left doesn’t like your thinking they don’t celebrate diversity, they try to bully you into silence.

Does that mean blacks aren’t American?
To: Westlander
On the other side of the coin I recently heard a black Nigerian who has never left Africa be referred to as “African-American”. When it comes to the nonsense of PC and conventional wisdom it’s better to laugh than cry.
To: BinaryBoy
After Serodio labeled himself as a white African-American, another student said she was offended by his comments and that, because of his white skin, was not an African-American. Reminds me of the young black school girl who gave a speech about "Malcolm the Tenth".... Ask any of these racist morons to take an educated guess at what percentage of the population of South Africa is "African-American" and get ready to explode in laughter.

Africa is a place, not a race.

"...harassed and ultimately suspended for identifying himself during a class cultural exercise as a "white African-American." Free health care is a fundamental right. Then there's free love, free choice, free association, free press. But... not... free thought or expression...

Born and raised in Mozambique and now a naturalized U.S. citizen, Serodio, 45, has filed a lawsuit against a New Jersey medical school, claiming he was harassed and ultimately suspended for identifying himself during a class cultural exercise as a "white African-American." He is more African-American than 99% of American blacks (how many were born and raised in Africa?)
This is malignant Political Correctness run amok. I hope when the flesh eating lawyers are done, he owns the med school.

You can bet hate crimes won’t apply to him no matter how many times his tires are slashed.

So does he. He’s been bald a long time. Phil Spector has a huge collection of wigs (though I doubt he’ll be getting to carry them to prison).
