A half white/half Native American would be listed as Native American. A half white/half Asian kid would be listed as Asian. A half white/half black kid would certainly have been listed as black most anywhere in this country in the early 1960s.
In the era Obama was born the child was always considered the same race as the mother. Even if Obama had not been born in Kenya. A Hawaiian birth certificate would have listed him as White.
He wouldn't have been sitting next to you in school in Tennessee in the 1960s.
Did you just fall off a turnip truck? Jesus.

My father is half white. My mother is Cherokee. What am I listed on mine?
White. Your hyphenated Americans didn't exist till decades later.

Look - I have no doubt whatsoever that Obama was born in Hawaii because there is not a single piece of evidence that points to any other conclusion. I'd have to believe a massively complex and prescient conspiracy to think otherwise.
But I do have doubts that the birth certificate Obama finally released contains some defects that can best be explained by deliberate forgery. For what reason, I have no idea. Perhaps the real parent? Perhaps some oblique reference to Islam? Perhaps the original birth certificate didn't really exist to begin with?
But even if there was some trivial forgery, it doesn't effect his eligibility status as qualified to run for POTUS. Obama was unqualified for many other reasons, but none of them are constitutional - they were pragmatic/political. Are you 100% convinced that the image of the birth certificate produced was an absolutely true representation of the original???
