America's first man, Barack Obama became very famous as the first Black president of America but half of American people consider him mixed-race.

According to Huffington, President Obama is mixed-race with a Kansas-born white mother and a Kenyan father.

Nearly 53 percent of whites and 61 percent of Hispanic reportedly consider Obama as mixed race, however 55 percent black participants considers him black.

Inter-racial marriages have changed the scenario of population and a research shows that by 2060, white people will no longer be the majority.
