Can a white guy be African-American?

Paulo Serodio says he is.

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."

...

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.

According to the lawsuit, Serodio was summoned to Duncan's office where he was instructed "never to define himself as an African-American … because it was offensive to others and to people of color for him to do so."

It's crazy," Serodio's attorney Gregg Zeff told ABCNews.com. "Because that's what he is."

Winner.

I feel bad for the guy, who is he supposed to identify with? He's more African than many 'African' Americans he's likely to deal with, but likely not crackerish enough to get along with all the whites in the states.

The whole deal with "equity" and being all PC is getting out of hand.


But that's totally irrelevant. Ms. Africa-America is a retard.
