| HesAPooka said: Are black people in different countries called African *insert country name*. Also, do black people really prefer to be called "african american", or do they not care if you just say black. Maybe I'm not right in the head but to me it's almost more racist when people say "african american" because it's like they're going out of their way to not sound racist which in turn makes them more racist. When I played soccer on all black teams, or all brown teams I don't care if they call me white boy. I certainly wouldn't expect them to go out of their way to say "the canadian from romania". |
I think it's a general American thing, not related to one race. People say Irish-American, Italian-American and more besides.
OT. It is racists to assume the new neighbours are the ones with weed if if it's because they are of a certain race. If I hadn't witnessed much or any weed presence in the neighbourhood and then there's this correlation of a bag of weed lying around and new neighbours just moved in I'd be suspecting the new neighbours regardless of race, culture, age, sexual orientation, gender, family status or professional background.
