My sanest conversation on TV, ever
After a great Lester Holt interview with Barack Obama, a soul-searching conversation about the media's role in making race central to the Democratic race.
Joan Walsh [2008-01-26]

    First, Senator Obama identifies himself as an African-American.

    Second, he truly is an "African-American," as the child of an African father and American mother.

    I suppose we could call him a Kenyan-American, but it is more common to use the term "Hispanic-American" than Colombian-American so it has precedence.
