Paulo Serodio probably

didn’t expect much of a reaction when he

identified himself as an

African-American during a cultural

exchange at his New Jersey Medical

School. However, his white skin

apparently disqualifies him from calling

himself such. Serodio is a 45 year old

white male who was born, and lived, in

Mozambique–in Africa.

However, his white skin apparently disqualifies him from calling himself such. Serodio is a 45 year old white male who was born, and lived, in Mozambique–in Africa. By the book, he is a white African American. However, after one student complained that it offended her–the dean of the school suggested he no longer use that term. The ironic part is that while Serodio is actually from Africa, the female student who complained was likely from Newark or Trenton, rather than some African nation.
