  Yet many people just call him "black".

  Or take Barack Obama, for instance. Many people say he is "the first
black president of the US". No he, isn't. He is exactly as much white as
he his black.

  It somehow feels like being "black" is more inherited than being white.
I have heard that sometimes it goes so far that if one of your grandparents
was black (and everyone else white), you are still considered "black".

  I don't get it.
