In '08 there was a lot of "concern" in the media that Obama was "not black enough." Whether that originated from Hillary's campaign or elsewhere, I don't know.

The folks who talk about ADOS in like, college-educated black circles could raise that with future black candidates that come from immigrant parents. Anecdotally, I've heard complaints that the affirmative action spots at Ivys are going more to the upper middle class children of African immigrants than to, say poorer or middle class ADOS kids. I can see this as a form of inner-elite competition amongst the black leadership class of America for limited resources. Could be one way to foster nativism among middle class African American voters by the right, if they were shrewd enough to do that.

Hillary started the birther movement anyhow, which was then taken over by fox and is how Donald Trump got his modern political career Kickstarted lol. She has incredible political instincts.
