Halle Berry is regarded as the first African-American to win an Academy award for Best Lead Actress. Technically, she is only half African-American, her mother is Caucasian. Physically, if she looked more Caucasian than African American the media probably wouldn't label her the "first." So is she really the first black actress to win best lead or the first bi-racial African-American to win best lead?

I think she is the first bi-racial, im pretty sure there was an african american who won before she did. I just cant remember who it is right now.

She's the one. If you want to split hairs and be technical so as to deny her the place in history, that is your hang up.

True. Actually, I'm surprised that Whoopie Goldberg hasn't won anything in that area. I think she should have. Great comic.
