If you call them blacks (zwarte) it is racist in The Netherlands perhaps the same counts for the US


Calling a black person black isn't racist in the US, but by the left wing media its considered politically incorrect. I just consider myself a guy, just like any other with my own individual mind, but still a social being just like everyone here ...hence my existence on this site. 

Just like the term "race" amongst humanity, the term African-American is a social construct. Let me prove this to you. What happens if a natural born person from Africa who isn't black moves to America and decides to become a citizen....wouldn't you still call that non-black person African-American...if the term is being used correctly? 

Thats the problem...there is a flaw with labels. They arent as fluid as one might think. When we can accept that we're human with different ethnic backgrounds and cultures, we can sooner move forward into the future.
