":Yeah, the qualifier thing poses a formulation problem. He is, but he's also widely (near-universally) referred to as AA. The former aspect is really little more than trivia, or at least by itself not worthy of the second sentence of the article lead; the latter is what makes it relevant and leaving out that portion is a foul compromise imho. The who is of mixed heritage part was my way of trying to adjust for the fact that indeed he is AA, according to the commonplace definition of AA (namely, an American citizen of at least partly African heritage). Oh, I don't know. With so little wiggle room, it's impossible to find a good compromise, especially not with so much senseless opposition. Anyway, good to hear that I'm not alone in my concerns.
