I probably don't understand the question :D
Afro-American - Someone from US with roots from Africa - He is African, so...........?
This is the type of question, if someone passes as American :D

Yes. African-Americans are pure africans or almost it.

The difference is that most African-Americans are of West/Central African heritage. His roots are in Uganda which is in East Africa, plus his phenotype is textbook Nilotid.

Yes

He definitely wouldn't look typical. Most of the African-Americans I've seen aren't as dark as him.

I think he would be pretty atypical. He seems very dark and has that "pure" look compared to most Aframs who still seem to show some European admix in their features.
