Quote: I grew up in the US and it seems like a sort of knee-jerk reaction of most whites to call every black person an African-American.
Blacks themselves, along with pc white liberals, demanded that the term African-American be used (instead of black) when the "political correctness" craze swept liberal circles in the 90s. On college campuses and in workplaces, whites became subject to reprimand if they did not use the correct term. I remember jokes about how rats were now demanding to be called rodent-Americans.
We should return to the good old days of calling them negro or colored.
