To many Americans, that doesn't really count.
To my mind, if you're not allowed to be President due to reasons of birth, you're not really American.

Race is a cultural construct?

Race is completely meaningless,
Go back far enough and we're all African - or whatever you want to call Africa at that time. Mitochondrial DNA proves it.

Generally, the more mixed people are the fewer genetic problems.

If you'd quoted Donne's effort on the same subject I'd have to have told you I'm not that kind of boy.

Siphonaptera is a rhyme by the mathematician Augustus De Morgan
Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so, ad infinitum.
And the great fleas, themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.
