Sloppy langauge

[edit]

The intro says that Yoakum "was a self-taught African-American and Native American artist". Does this mean he was a self-taught African-American? Where do other people go to learn to be African-American? How can he be African-American and Native-American at the same time? Does it mean his mother was one and his father another? In which case he was African-American-Native-American??? This really does need rewriting to read better (and, not being au fait with the vagaries of US racial descriptions I am not doing it) and especially to show that it was as an artist that he was self-taught. I hope! Emeraude (talk) 13:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
