Egypt is in Africa. He was born in America. Hence he is African-American. He was correct in marking African as his ethnicity.
Sadly no. Here is the AAMC site on ethnicity:
https://www.aamc.org/data/facts/glossary/
This is the reference they use:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/fedreg_1997standards/
From white house site:
"White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa."
Egypt is a part of Northern Africa. If he is truly Egyptian, then he is white.
