Mary -

Science does recognize genetic and biological differences that correlate to three racial groups; caucasoid, mongoloid, and negroid. Anthropologists classify ancient skulls as belonging to these three groups, and can generally tell you where a particular person came from, or at least where the forebears of the person came from, based on examining the skull.

I agree that it doesn't really make one whit of difference whether Obama is considered white or black by anyone else. It certainly has no bearing on his qualifications for holding public office.
