Incorrect. Negro is a Black American term. In Europe black-skinned people are called Black. In South Africa it is Kaffir (which has taken on a far more pejorative connotation). I am not sure that “colored” is a term used outside of the states either.

As a man who probably — since we are all mind readers on this site — didn’t see himself as American there is no reason to think that BHO, Sr. would have used specifically American terms to identify himself.

Depending on his nationalistic tendencies and the fact that Kenya was still a British territory at the time of Barack’s birth he might have thought of himself as African… as opposed to Kenyan. That or the doctor wrote it down after he was told Kenyan.
