Good point.
He's from Louisiana, so he could very well have ancestors from Haiti.
debate_junkie said:Tying one race of people with one country is ludicrous, and I think that's the point trying to be made here. At least that's the way it looks to me.
There are lots of different countries in Africa so calling someone African-American would probably identify their continent of cultural/heritage origin.
But I agree, races come from many countries.
