The Omaha suspension of a white high-school student originally from South Africa is sending shock waves across America as debate rages over who can claim rights to the term "African-American."
The case centers on Trevor Richards, a junior at Westside High School, who moved from Johannesburg to Nebraska six years ago.

Face it, the message here is, that if you want to claim to be "African American" you HAVE TO BE BLACK.
How racist is that?

K my two cents... i personally believe you should keep track of your heretage and remember where your roots are. Especially in the new world where you run into danger being homogenized into one "super culture".
In my eyes the natives are americans, everyone else is whater it is you are when you come from wherever it is you come from but in the end you call call yourself whatever you want.
Whe i meet an american i ask him firstly where he is from and the where he is REALLY from (ie his roots) and thats usually the most interesting part of the conversation.

Here's an idea....
Don't separate out awards, requirements, schools, scholarships, etc. based on race, and then there wouldn't be an issue..
All could compete for such things equally...
It's a case of various races wanting their cake but to eat it too....
Personally, I think the whole thing is rather hysterical...
