Final answer:

President Obama, being biracial, falls under the category of Transcendent Identity due to his acceptance of his multiracial heritage.


Explanation:

President Obama, as a biracial individual with one White parent and one Black parent, faced questions of racial identity. If Obama were to ask the public to refer to him as the first biracial president rather than the first African American president, he would be falling under the category of Transcendent Identity in the typology of racial identity options. This choice reflects his acknowledgment and acceptance of his multiracial heritage.
