I would say the stereotypes Americans have about us aren't half as bad as those we have about them.

They think we're posh and have bad teeth, and many of us seem to think they're all evangelical illiterate hicks who shoot everything they see and hate black people and gays.

I love African American People. Which is the term I believe.

 

Kind of harsh I think. But you are sort of right when you are dealing with some states. The same could probably be said for what we think.

Yeah, Americans call any black person "African American".

Nelson Mandela = African American

David Haye = African American

Idris Elba = African American

To the average American (USA) the rest of the world does not exist or is of no importance.

To make things worse I recommend changing these terms to Sub-Saharan African American or Black Africa African American.

Much more accurate to describe someone who's plainly black with ancestry in Africa.
