Support High quality and high EV. As to the caption, the African-American bit, that may be a good trivia fact for the article, and I understand it being interesting. But the world will never stop being racist so long as it matters that he was the first member of a specific race to do something. It doesn't. I think it has been already proven that members of any race can do any and everything all other races can. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 22:22, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
