Disturbing white guy with odd-colored orange/blond hair... :mrgreen:What about this guy?

If they are *from* South Africa and are white, they are.............. African-Americans.
That is... if they are now Americans.
If they are just visiting... they are African... or South African if they prefer.
That gets me thinking... what do you call a guy from The Congo?
Congolian?
Albino......

I hate that term "African American".
Unless you came from Africa in your lifetime and now live in America, most "African-Americans" don't have a damned clue what being "African" is.
The term itself brings an image of someone who has more loyalty to the first hyphenated portion of their "politically correct" name than being American.
I wonder if you make such a period laden fuss about Irish-American, Italian Americans, Polish-Americans, Scottish Americans etc. Seriously, why not just come out of the closet already Caine? We all know.

The only people who should keep their Hyphenated bull**** are first generation immigrants. Their children on the other hand who are raised in America, like American children, going to American schools, with American cultural influences and upbringing are, plainly put... AMERICAN.
I observed, some time ago, that The Obama is a true 1st-generation African American.I hate that term "African American".

I like to follow along with name of the pre-eminent organization that claims to represent them and refer to them as 'colored'.Have fun finding a term for african americans that isn't derogatory that has been coined by our society since they were brought over.

Why not? If they use the term to descrie themselves, it must be OK to use the term to describe them.Why would you want to?
Why?
And, we're all "colored"... Different colors, true, but still...
