Hi,

Quote:He was a middle-class Hawaii boy, with a little Indonesia thrown in for good measure.
Well, technically he is breadbasket-American and Kenyan. His mother's family was not from Hawaii, they just ended up moving there. And the Indonesian is just from having lived there for a while.

The funniest part is that, since he is the son of a white American woman and a native of Kenya, he is literally 'African-American' and yet completely not at all what that term implies. He is not the product of the descendants of slavery and generations of oppression.

I highly recommend his two books. Whatever the spin, the facts are fascinating.
