Why does everyone call Obama...?

Mullato is an anachronistic and offensive term. He is sometimes referred to as mixed race, though of course most Americans are some mis of ethnicities at this point. So I don't think that's very descriptive. His father was an African, so it seems fair to describe him as having African American heritage. Black and white are catch-all terms describing nothing more than skin pigment, and Obama's is clearly on the black end of the spectrum.

He would be considered an Arab/American. His father was from Kenya. He is called black because he looks black.

the real travisty here is you are interested in a man for his color and making history,who cares about his racial background,isn't it more important to see what he'll do,if he fails will you still be proud we elected him to make history,as for your question,most folks see things as black and white,just how we are here

if he's mixed then he's not white either so you can't call him white. aren't mullatos part cajun?

He is only 6.75% black and 50% white.

His father is 87.5% Arabic

he looks black

if he was arestted for robbing your local shop what would the police call him? i'm sure they'd go for black.

anyway why are whites whites they are more of a cream collour

i think you should more concerned with his goals for our country than worrying about what ethnicity he is.
