re: Do you say "Black" or "African American"?

Do people really get upset at that? I think IRL nobody gives a shite. We're just talking hypotheticals on a message board. Speaking for myself I don't care what people call themselves.

People say things when in places like this one because they can be anonymous when they are politically incorrect. Of course you don't hear this much irl, but all of these pages both here and other places show you how much whites care.

I don't see anybody anywhere saying some people who are of Asian descent aren't really Asian because of the tone of their skin.

My point is that the same whites that get bent over "African American" over the technicality that most black Americans have never been to Africa never apply the same logical test to Asians here in the US.
