[quote=Anonymous]Just to clarify, the PP Caucasian is a broad category that covers most of the populations of North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Western Asia, Central Asia and South Asia. African American does not mean Americans with ancestors from Africa. Instead, the term refers to citizens or residents of the United States who have total or partial antebellum ancestry from any of the native populations of Sub-Saharan Africa. That is why, for example, our current president is not, technically speaking , "African American," but his wife is. Obviously colleges do not adhere to the strict definition, so I see no harm in using a geographic definition and self-identifying as an African American based on Caucasian -African ancestry. Certainly someone that background adds to diversity in comparison to someone with Anglo Saxon ancestry. [/quote]
