| On African-American...
If a Black person tells you to say, "African American," please by all means be rude to them. Ask them when they became a citizen, and which part of Africa they were a citizen previously.
The only time a person should be hyphenating their nationality is when they have dual citizenship. "African American" isn't an ethnicity. As tivodan correctly pointed out, Charlize Theron is more African-American than any Black person living in the ghetto who was born in this country.
Similarly, it's White, not Caucasian. Caucasian is a term for an Asian from the Caucasus mountain region. IT'S A BOY!! |
