There are three separate basic taxons, the Caucasian, the mongoloid, and the negroid.

I also believe his biological father,was Albert green,a black man.thats what I have read.
But he is British and we don't call him African British.

Personally,I can see why he is called,African British....he was born in this country..his ancestors were not...makes sense to me....I can't see it being racist.

But then again,I come from a different planet...I must be an alien,

He isn't.
And his biological parents were Jamaican immigrants to the UK, not African.
