Wasn't Obama born in Hawaii? That would make him our first islander President, right?

Nope. Theodore Roosevelt was born in Manhattan.

This.

His father was born in Mexico? Didn't George Romney make a serious run for the Presidency? So Romney would have been unable to serve if he were elected?

Someone born of two US citizen parents is a US citizen no matter where he's born.

Ah, I was thinking that you had to be born on American territory to be eligible for some reason. My bad.

Probably because morons pushed that narrative regarding Obama, and an uniformed reading of the Constitution would suggest it.
It demands you to be a "natural born citizen". The term is not defined in the Constitution, but is defined elsewhere in US statute. It includes those born abroad of an American parent. Even if Obama were born in Kenya, he would have been eligible.

You realize this is saying my 100% white cousin is Arabic because he was born in Dubai, right?

More like saying that your white cousin's kid is Arabic because his father was born in Dubai.
Which seems to be the crux of the OP's argument.
