Again, why would anyone even bother reading what FactCheck has to say unless they were doing it from the view of what the enemy is up to. It was researched and the list of what races/ethnicities in use at that time were listed on many threads, many times.
And “African” was not one of them.
You are using FactCheck as an authority and saying someone else is wrong solely on the authority of that leftist 0bama connected site.
Weird.
It was researched and the list of what races/ethnicities in use at that time were listed on many threads, many times. And “African” was not one of them.
Correct. And "Caucasian" was also not one of them. Yet we've seen various Hawaiian BCs where "Caucasian" is listed instead of the required "White." So the assumption that Hawaii rigidly followed a standard set of guidelines is an erroneous theory. Numerous sample Hawaiian BCs disprove that theory.

No, I most assuredly am not citing FC as a authority. As I explained previously, I included FC's quote of Kurt Tsue because it provides a hypothesis that we can test about how/why "AFRICAN" may have been accepted by the HDoH as a legtimate race.
Now we know that HDoH didn't follow the letter of law as you suggested with race & ethnicity because of the Caucasian v. White ethnicity.
So in my mind there are two remaining questions.
1. Would Hawaii allow the use of a country's name as a parent's race?
So, in looking at the BC I provided for Keala Harriet Hardesty, you will see the Father's race listed as American. That tends to answer the first question in the affirmative, IMHO.
2. Did BO Senior consider his race to be African?
The Instructions for the 1962 Census, (developed prior to 1962) instructed Kenyans to specify their race as European, Arab, Somali or African. Asians were instructed to write Indian or Pakistani. So, it seems very logical to me that Senior considered his race to be African and that answers the 2nd question in the affirmative.
Now to be clear, I make no judgment about the forgery. But I do believe the issue of "AFRICAN" listed as a race has been resolved, at least to my satisfaction.
