Those codes pertained only to 'race of child' as stated, not the father who's 'race box' had a number 9 pencilled in. Box 9 and 12b on Obama's electronic file abstract long form should be blank.
The code list HD posted contains incorrect categories, As such, it wasn't the list used to code Obama's birth certificate.

You know, funny thing here IC. In your state, Illiniois, a father brought a birth certificate in to the health dept. in Champaign back in the late 70s. He had written "human" for "race". How's them apples?
I've seen hundreds of Illinois long form BCs. Race was self-reported and anything was accepted.
and there is no "race of child" found on any birth certificate. so what do they use? the race of the father was listed as "9" - other non white. Do you see african on the list?
Can we not get our countries expert on forgeries, Dan Rather on this already?
I think he's busy making bogus Medals of Honor to sell on Ebay..
