Lost changes in web problems

Am editing the article, but many changes were lost due to difficulties this morning in saving the page on the internet.Parkwells (talk) 15:44, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

African American?

Okay so he was born to an colonial American and an "East Indian" mother, and yet his birth name was "Jean Pierre"? Then it says that she may have been born in Saint-Domingue? (Haiti) What's going on in this article? Savvyjack23 (talk) 20:54, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I wondered the same thing. Given the first few paragraphs, we'd probably consider him an Indian-American. Given the era and place in which he lived, I can see how he might have identified with African-Americans, but that isn't explained in the article. I'm intrigued. And was he close to his father, the 3rd US Vice-President? Can anyone shed more light on this biography?
