Why do I think he's black.... no racial slur intended.... but he's from africa, and he has a name that certainly does not sound Caucasian....

It is easy to come to that conclusion......and it doesn't mean you are prejudiced. It just seems to identify someone. It is a part of who he is. Just as Ruth is a part of who I am and it tends to identify me as a person coming from a caucasian background, as opposed to, say, an Oriental background.
