    His father was born and raised in Uganda, and it makes sense he and Zohran who spent half his life in Uganda, may consider themselves black or African. I’ve read that many full or mixed Indian origin people in South Africa (like Tyla) consider themselves colored. Indian origin people ended up in various African countries because of the Brits, but they’ve lived in their own culture since their ancestors were first brought over.

    I new a guy from Egypt, who always listed himself as African-American. This was ~20 years ago, and his logic was that it was better than being known as Middle-Eastern.

    I can't say that he was wrong :/
