I have a friend from school that was a South African national and has

possible. He is VERY Caucasian, blond hair, blue eyes.

The problem with political correctness is that it is deliberately
designed to confuse and mislead. In PC-land, African-American doesn't
actually mean African or American, it means dark-skinned; and anyone
who has light skin and uses it to describe himself is automatically a
racist in PC eyes, even if he was born and raised in Africa and has
immigrated to the U.S. (thus making himself an African-American).
