Racism

Why is an African American called black even if he is multi racial as Obama is. You call him a black American. Why not call him white since his mother is white?

I think this is a form of racism and has not been challenged as far as I know. You consider anyone black, even if he has only one drop of black blood in him. I think that needs to change.
