In college, we called our African friends Africans... and they were all black.  Even though lots of Africans are white... so I would just use a generic regional term such as African, Jamaican, Haitian, etc.  And let everyone have to ask if that person is black or white...

It's not because it was never meant as a derogatory term, it simply means 'one who is not of the Jewish faith'.  It's no more racist than saying someone is not Jewish, or saying that someone is 'Christian'.

I think the politically correct term is "dwarfs."  However, I like "Height Restricted Persons" as a nice jab at the PC community.  As for me, I am "folicly challenged" (that is balding).

how about teacher's tropical drink day then?\n\nCitizen's Day\n Because no one seems happy when they ask to accept that my nationality is American. Unhyphenated American Day.\nA day where we can stand united and say I owe no country allegiance but this. I am a product of a multicultural nation. not American Indian, not German, Polish, English, Chinese,African,Guatemalan,Japanese,Russian,Arab hyphen American. but a product of all nationalities living together under one set of laws. I am American. Let's have a Citizen's Day.

You asked a rhetorical question here - what do you want answered?  The African-American community as a whole is hypocritical on the use of this word - that's all.\n\nGood Luck!!!

I have heard many white/Caucasian Americans call themselves Irish-American, or Italian-American etc.  It's just the fact that as the "Melting pot" we feel like we have to have an extra identifier.\n\nBecause of the negative connotation with the word Black I preferred African American, until I went to Africa.  That experience taught me how truly American I am.  African American is a huge misnomer.\n\nSo I prefer American, but if you must be specific Black or Brown.

An alien is a foreign born person who has not qualified as a citizen of the country; but an alien is a person within the meaning of the due process clause of the U. S. Constitution to the same extent as a citizen.

It's a personal choice.  If you don't want to be called African-American, then tell them so.  I myself am Black and I also use the term African-American.  I may be wrong, but I don't think the politicians came up with this term.  I believe we started using this term as a way to honor our ancestors.  Check on wikipedia.com for the origin of the term African American.

As long as you live in the western hemisphere you are an American - not a US citizen or resident.  The only true way that can be interpreted is to say patriot because all races & heratrages can be a 100%.

African-American is a politically correct term for black people, you need to look back at the history on how black people were called before becoming P.C. term.\n\nGeneration ago, black people or black slave are capture in Africa and sold as slaves by the white people, they were called slave, but a degratory remarks or name were used to called these black people, there were called Negro, which is the earliest name used before Nxxxxr were derive from this.\n\nAs America become more civil with human right and equality laws, black protest and civil right movement, the term slowly evolve to African-America to denotes the black people came from African origin but are now American citizen.

Yes, if you're born in Africa you're African American. That's why some people prefer to be called black because African American classifies anyone born in Africa.
