Apocalypse Now

A medical student says he was suspended from New Jersey's University of Medicine and Dentistry for insisting that he's a white African-American.  Paulo Serodio, 42, was born in Mozambique before moving to the U.S., and described himself in a class assignment on identity as "white, African, American."  Serodio says students and faculty berated him, saying no white person could call himself an African-American.  When he persisted, he was suspended for two years.  He is now suing the school.
