So would Obama Sr. consider himself “African”.
Another question without a question mark?
He could consider himself to be a Leprechaun.
There is no "racial category" for Leprechaun either.

The 1964 report you posted up thread says this:
“Also beginning with 1964 ill-defined or not clearly identifiable races are assigned to “race not stated. ” This includes such reports as “oriental” and “yellow, ” which in previous years were assigned to a specific category such as other nonwhite, Chinese, or Japanese.”
So according to the NIHS, they sometimes saw “yellow” reported as a race. Is that one of the race categories?
And before 1964 a term like “yellow” or “African” would be forced into one of the specific categories like “nonwhite, Chinese, or Japanese” But after 1964 a term like “yellow” or “African” would be coded as “race not stated.”
