I see that Andrew has introduced himself. I have to relate that when he told me that he was going to Botswana for a family emergency, I told him that it seemed funny (not the family emergency--the fact that he had a family in Botswana, and not in the squirting-flower-trick sense) because, being a Person of Pallor, he didn't look Botswanan.
He replied that that was because he was actually Zambian.

Well, I thought it was funny.
He also said that he's been tempted to check the "african american" box on various forms, but couldn't quite work up the moxie, to which I replied that it seems to work for Theresa Heinz.

You're not the only one. But my sense of the absurd was sharpened by a firm dose of "Fawlty Towers" and a few years in the Marines. YMMV.

I've got a Anglo-German Zambian brother-in law. I might run that African-American idea past him.
