Comment se dit-elle?

I came across this “identity piece” On Afro-Guyanese while wandering the web. It makes for an interesting read, particularly perhaps right now, when many commentators & others struggle to find the right shorthand term to describe an American-born man with an African father who was not descended from American slaves who might be the next President of the USA

And, since it was written by a feisty young woman, it also makes an interesting comparison with Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis written almost a quarter of a century ago
