Cheers for the message. Indeed you are right. But at the same time it lends itself to some racist remarks. When Denzel Washington and Halle Berry won the Oscar some years ago, part of the American media said that it was an "African-American" night. At the same time I heard that some black people would call Mr. Washington and Mrs. Berry as "Oreo".
I don't know. If the "African-American" is self-imposed then perhaps it should be referred to only them? I just find it offensive. Is there a problem with saying black? Moreover, why making that distinction?
