Wrong. This is an internet legend that has been posted often. Barack Obama's father is a Luo, a BLACK Kenyan ethnic group that did not do much intermixing with the Arab traders.

You do know that Arabs are "caucasians", right? This is why we should use the term "European-American" instead. "Caucasian" is rooted in 19th century junk science.

I know that Kenneth Lamb is the source of that notion. What do you know or think of him?

For the most part. However, the Arabs who settled the East Africa coast intermingled with the native Swahili Bantu people, if I’m not mistaken.
